4.2 / Jaz Installation problem



I recently bought Linux 4.2 from red hat. I have some installation problem. I am installing it on a SCSI jaz removable drive with floppy boot. 
I bought the jaz specially for Linux and to avoid partioning my hard drives
I go through the installation fine to the end with no problem. I chooe to install the Lilo on a floppy (this is one of the options). My understanding is that when I boot from this floppy, Lilo will start and help me select the jaz as where Linux is. But when I try to boot from the generated floppy, I got garbage 1's and zeros on the screen. I repeated that several time. What I am doing wrong?. I went through your documentation and Howto...etc on the jaz, nothing helps
I am afraid to install Lilo on the MBR, as this will screw up my hard disk, and possibly lead  to the same result  as with the floppy.

My system is a Pentuim 133, 64 MB mem, has two 2 GB SCSI hard drives and 1 GB SCSI Jaz, and 8X IDE CD-ROM.
I am not trying to make the jaz bootable, just where Linux is.

One thing I thought that the problem may be because my Jaz is the third drive on the SCSI, but then what is the solution? I can not (and do not want) to make the Jaz drive as the first or second on the SCSI bus. Once again, I am not trying to make the Jaz bootable.........!!!!!!!!!

This is really frustrating. It has been  over a week, and my messages to Red Hat support did not answered and I am not able to install anything.......!!!!!
