I've tried numerous network installs on an HP Vectra with numerous different
drives. Each time I get "read error" right before the kernel begins to load.
I found this archived for NetBSD
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-help/1997/07/23/0004.html and it
describes my problems to a tee. Now, how can I boot into single user mode
from the install floppies after the install reboot? I've tried using the
ttyv4 holographic shell but I can't even /sbin/mount from there.

Once I do manage to get to single user mode what will I need to edit using
/sbin/fdisk to make sure this is using Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1?
