This generally means a syslinux problem. Usually it is solved by
using the tecra disks. But I see below you have tried that.

Since you only have 4MB of RAM, you would generally use the lowmem
floppies, as documented in the Install Manual. However, you're problems
are happening early than when you would hit the problems with having
so little RAM.
So ... the *tecra* rescue disk should be the one that helps you.
Try resc1440tecra-safe.bin as well as resc1440tecra.bin.
Which version of the boot-floppies are you using?
