I also made many sets of floppy disks and got the same result. I thought there must be some problem in 5.4-RELEASE, but Google search for "zf_read fill error" made me convinced that the problem existed in my floppy disks, and not in 5.4-RELEASE. So I made boot.flp and kern*.flp on another machine. Then the installation went without problem!
