Hopefully you got the right disks. For i386, go to http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html#s-downloading-files and then scroll down to Section 4.2.3. In most cases, you probably want: |.../current/images-1.44/idepci/rescue.bin <http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/idepci/rescue.bin>
as your rescue disk, and||.../current/images-1.44/root.bin <http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/root.bin>|
as your root disk.If you create the floppies from DOS/Win, you'll need to use "rawrite2.exe" to write these images to your floppies. If from *nix, you use the "dd" command.
Assuming you've done this, and you're getting the error above, I'd recreate teh rescue floppy using another floppy. If the floppy isn't absolutely perfect, you'll run into problems.
