It would be helpful to include descriptions of version, computer, etc.

? Which version are you installing.

If it is 2.2.1 then I recommend:

First remake your boot.flp - your problem could be here.

You may want to try installinging the binaries first, do your post
configure and then boot the new system. If this fails, consider floppy
install. * Remember to format your floppies with whatever you are using
for file copy and to create a \bin directory on each floppy. 
			(15 1.44MB floppies) 

Login, su to root, and /stand/sysinstall and enter post install and add
the distributions that you want.

Good luck.
