I don't see why not.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you just swap in this hard
drive as drive 0 on one of your machines that has a floppy drive, do
your install off the floppies, and... well I don't know where your
distro is, but if it's on another hard drive, you could install off
that... Then take the new system drive to the floppy-less machine.
