Trouble installing debian from floppy

[richard.collins@stonebow.otago.ac.nz (Richard Collins)]

When installing the base system with the graphical installer from floppy I
get the error message:

usage: floppy_merge device

There is a problem extracting the floppy from
 .

When I run floppy merge from a shell with:  floppy_merge dev/fd0
It seems to work fine, that is sends loads of garbage to the screen.

Any help would be appreciated.
