The best (IMHO) way around this is to create the rescue floppy (using
the instuctions in install.html) and boot from that and point to your
fat partition for the rest of the installation.
The reason I say "best" is that you _really_do_need_ to have a rescue
floppy around, and what better time to make it than before you need it?
Luck,
