Rather than make a Knoppix Boot Floppy, you can get a program called Smart Boot Manager. SBM can be installed to the hard drive MBR or (and this sounds like what you want to do), it can be put on a floppy diskette and that diskette used to boot whenever you don't want to boot windows directly from the hard drive. Once SBM comes up you may need to have it scan the hard drive, then just pick the Linux partition from the menu.
Of course, if your floppy drive is bad then you couldn't boot that way. But even then you could installSBM to the hard drive MBR and boot either system (you would get a menu to select from each time you boot).
