Install confusion

[Paul Schwartz <brpms@earthlink.net>]

After reading about using the F3 key at the initial boot screen from the 
Woody CD#1, I decided  to try it.

At the boot: prompt I typed bf24
and sent the install on its way.  Answered all the questions, made a 
boot floppy, and rebooted using said boot floppy.

Result: the new boot floppy was identical to the original; my kernal was 
still 2.2.xx-idepci
Why didn't I get the bf24 kernal?
Help!

TIA
