I didn't see this tread until today, but this weekend I was doing an
install and had the same recursive loop on a standard pentium 166. I
downloaded the floppy disks from the same place as the other guy:
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/
/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/bf2.4

I'd try the incoming floppy images (where are they?) as suggested and
inform back to you about it. But the images still seemed bad in Sunday
as far as I can tell. I killed the install from the other shell and
just finished the install by apt-get'ing the packages I needed so all
was well in the end.
Since you said: "Well I can't do anything without a debug log. Set
DEBCONF_DEBUG=. and reproduce it, log output."
How does one go about setting that? Must I rebuild the installer or just
sent it as an env var or pass in kernel command line?
