When you do a floppy install you need to have all the bin files in the /bin dir on the floppies. Make sure that bin.inf is on the first disk. If you wish to install more than one distribution such as the manpages, make sure that the .inf file is on the last diskette of the bin distribution in the appropriate dir. /manpages i think for manpages.
