The Realtek RTL8111/8168 is one of those network controllers for which
there is a firmware package. I'm not sure if the device will work
without it, but if you're experiencing issues (which you are), you might
try providing the installer with the firmware. Instructions for  doing
so can be found here

Do you have a floppy drive plugged in? If not, consider disabling it in
the BIOS. The errors above aren't necessarily a problem, but may slow
things down while the installer looks for a floppy disc. If you disable
the floppy drive in the BIOS, then the installer will know to not even
try.

If you DO have a floppy drive plugged in, then these errors are simply
the result of there not being a disk in the drive (they'd also appear
with a bad disc, but I don't think you can really tell the difference
with a floppy).

Not necessarily a solution, but a couple of things for you to try.
