This is where the pconvert tool with the compiler comes in really useful.
Type in the float 'Microchip float32' format, and in the 'hex' line it gives the bytes needed to represent this. Cut and paste into the #ROM statement.

I think it might be done if you calculate the float value each time you read and wtite into rom. E.g. If you have two digits following decimal point, just multiply float value by 10^n then store it into rom.
n - number of digits following decimal point

Code:

unsigned int16 float_to_store;
float f=5.65
float_to_store = f*100;
//write into rom as 565
//to read it back devide it.
f=(float)float_to_store/100;

I hope you get the idea. Just multiply/devide(10^n) the float so you can transduce the float value to decimal and back.
