Are these images built from boot-floppies version 3.0.16 (which utterly
failed for Ultra1), 3.0.18 provided by BenC, or the more recent 3.0.21
provided by Adam di Carlo?
Both the 3.0.18 and the 3.0.21 version work on Ultra 1 (just installed the
latter over a install with the first). I must say I prefer the first
though. Needs fewer 'hacks' and genuinely works with floppies while the
latter seems to have some problems with booting.

If you've got another machine around, try the tftpboot method.
Really simple and it works, after that you can try to install from the net
or via a NFS mount off of that tftpboot-server or some other supported
method.
