Well, I *thought* i downloaded the "boot.img" file, but I suppose it's entirely possible that I downloaded the bootnet.img file.
I was going to start from scratch anyway, having come to the conclusion that something was corrupted -- I was guessing the CD, but your suggestion makes much more sense.
Thanks.

you say you made a bootdisk which I assume means you could see files on the CD.
Did you make a boot disk from the images/boot.img file or the bootnet.img file?
The first one is what you want. It should assume the CD has the files and not ask
you about it. I think you have the wrong boot image file on the floppy.
Just for completeness how did you make the boot disk?
