For installation, I assume you are booting from a disk image. First, make
sure you named the floppy image "ramdisk.image.gz" and placed it in the
top level of your MacOS System Folder. Then be sure that the "use
ramdisk" option is selected in BootX.

If you have already done this, or if you are not booting from an initial
ramdisk image, write back with more details of your install setup (from
CD? network?).
