i have played with a few drive jumpers and am pretty sure this is a drive problem;
not a generic 154X A/B support issue.

the drive is an old fujitsu 640mb - i've had similar problems with other os's; found
my own notes taped to bottom telling me which os i had to disable sync.

though install now actually sometimes gets to start network download, still panics
with a ECB invalid segment list error.

no need - from other responses obvious A/B generally do work.
