Your problem must be perplexing. I just installed a machine last night with floppies with nary a problem. There may be something in the way your box is reading the floppy drive during boot. I used rawrite to create the rescue disk, driver disk, and the five bin disks, then stuck the rescue in the box to which I was loading Linux, and pressed reset. Maybe you may want to recreate your disk on fresh floppies. Floppy disks can be tempermental, and flake out on a moments notice.
