It's referring to the kernel that it's loading, which is being loaded from
the floppy drive if this is your initial boot from floppy.  The "text" part
is telling you how much executable code was loaded from your kernel, and the
"data" part is telling you how much data (strings, buffer space, debug info,
etc) was loaded from your kernel.
