I had a similar problem when I used the unofficial reiserfs boot disks, and during the module loading section of the install, I chose to download files instead of having it look on the floppy disk. When it asks you to load modules, select the floppy disk (you'll be asked to insert the rescue disk, and then the driver-1 disk). After this step, you can select to install the base system and the rest of the packages from the internet as per usual. The reason it happens is that it looks for the rescue.bin file in the normal location on the official mirror, but since the reiserfs disks are unofficial, there aren't any copies of the rescue.bin file on any of the official Debian mirrors.
