Are you using real floppies? I recommend using virtual floppies because
they can not go coruppted. What's your installation source? If you have a
unofficial CDrom set, try boot the CD. If you downloaded any http or ftp
mirror, it is probably more efficient to create a small but bootable CDrom
image to boot from. (You don't need a CD writer). The contents of
main/disks-i386 minus documentation minus locales is just enough. With
mkisofs just use the -b flag to boot from images-2.88/rescue.bin
