Comments/Problems:
Initial boot didn't work from cdrom since BIOS did not permit it. So I
made a floppy (fakeroot make TYPE=floppy) and dd it into a disk.
The system still cannot recognize the floppy as bootable. I did tried
with three different floppies.
Then I made a new floopy (TYPE=bootfloppy) and the system booted.
At the prompt I typed: 'expert bootkbd=it'
then inserted the second floppy, when prompted for.
choose language --> italian
select a keyboard layout --> AT keyboard --> it layout
detect of netwrok card --> 8239too
configure the network --> DHCP --> (very long waiting)
after a long waiting I went to tty4 and saw that the DHCP was ended
correctly and a new address was bound, then there was an error:
dhclient: Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: No such file or directory
So i switched to tty1 and control-C, then the main menu appeared again
and I select 'select a mirror' but the following screen drove me to the
network configuration. I choosed again DHCP and I got the same problem.
So, back again, I selected 'static' and inputed all required data
After this, I did tried the menu 'select a mirror' but I was still driven
at the same point: network configuration.
