You most likely have a problem with whatever software you've used to
either download or store the images, as described in
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#small-dvd
The first things to check would be that the image you have downloaded
looks to be a reasonable size (just bigger than 4GB), and that it
matches the published md5sum for that image.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
