Default Boot Disk with a flash drive?

I got an el-cheapo computer to play around with, but it needs a boot-disk (floppy) in order to boot from a CD. I only have one floppy disc, which wouldn't be a problem since I could just write floppy one, stick it in, when it asks for two, take it out, format it in this computer, and write it, and reput it in, etc etc, but I only have one floppy drive and one keyboard/mouse (for now, anyway.)

Is there a way to make it bootable off a flash drive?

I forgot the guy told me he didn't plug in the CD drive because his "hands were too big to do it" (SFF ftl). Heh. Works good now.
