Bug#108317: acknowledged by developer (Bug#108317: fixed in boot-floppies 3.0.13)

[Mark Green <mark.green@reading.ac.uk>]

Thank you for your reply.
boot-floppies 3.0.13 will not even start on the machine in question.  It
boots successfully, and accepts the root disk, but then produces the
errors:

modprobe Can't open dependancies file /lib/modules/2.2.19/modules.dep
 (several times)
init started: BusyBox v0.60.0 (2001.08.02-21:16+0000) multi-call binary
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0 for Linux NET4.0
VM: Killing process tty
Killed
VM: Killing process dbootstrap
VM: Killing process tail
VM: Killing process init
VM: Killing process syslogd
 [These messages appear randomly for a variable amount of time]

And then either:

Bummer, can't load dbootstrap: bad address
 [also repeats, slowly]

OR

E: /proc does not appear to be mounted (bad address)
