This might still not work - I think you'll need to format the hard drive to
at least DOS (fdisk a partition big enough for all the disks)and then copy
the install floppies to there, run the install from dos/loadlin. You'll
probably have problems otherwise wih the system not seeing the floppy after
linux starts up in the installation...
Um, I wonder if one of the tiny linux installations like mulinux might be
useful?
