Install probem on SparcStation LX



I receiving the following error 'Failure while unpacking required packages.  Will re-try five times", follwed by 'debootstrap exited with an error (return value 1)'.
 
This occurs following the 'Install the Base System' step in the install process - see below.
 
This error has occured upon repeated attempts to install woody on a SPARCstation LX.
 
_Hardware and setup_
SPARCstation LX
RAM  64M
HD  411M
Floppy drive
No CDROM
Partition -  single root partition  -  /dev/sda1  330.2M
Swap  - dev/sda2 - 80.8M
 
_Process_
Booted from rescue.bin floppy and root.bin floppy
Installed kernel and drivers modules via ftp
Did not configure any device driver modules
Attempted to Install Base System - files download and validate successfully, before error occurs
 
'df -h' via terminal gives following output

Any help would be appreciated.
