I downloaded all the floppy images from the source above. The result
didn't change. Then I tried to manually mount the /floppy on console 2
before accessing it during the module load procedure and - great
ballyhoo - all the module data could be loaded. So it seems on my
machine the automounting of module floppies doesn't work as expected
or is simply missing in the process?!

It seems the installation process tries to access an unmounted
floppy?!
