Sorry I don't have much of a clue. That's good you're using the latest
release version. For i386, there are 4 different flavors (check out the
install documentation in the disks-i386/doc folder). It may be you would
have better luck trying the idepci flavor, if you were trying plain vanilla.
When it is looking for the rescue floppy, it's really looking for
rescue.bin, the rescue floppy image. It's actually asking you to identify
which flavor you want by pointing it to a rescue.bin within the right flavor
directory.
