How to deal with bad floppies/cd's

I've noticed that if a udeb fails to load from a floppy that the
installer is unable to recover gracefully.  First you get an error
message, but once you press ENTER, it get locked in a loop where it
draws a black screen, then a white screen, and back.  This presumably
affects a cd with a bad udeb as well.  

Can this be fixed, or should it just be noted as a minor annoyance in
the manual?  If it can be fixed, should I file a wishlist bug?

Cheers,

Daniel

Oh yeah, this is on a powerpc - I've not tried an i386 floppy install.
