ru making a fresh install?? or ru installing on a Linux m/c??
if u have compiled the kernel lately make the initrd (ramdisk )image & copy 
it to ur floppy.

mkinitrd initrd-X.X.XX.img X.X.XX
where X.X.XX is ur kernel version

other option is to compile new kernel w/o ramdisk support(not suggested)

if ur installing linux at home then u could even reinstall it from the cd. 
if the problem is the floppy disk which doesnt contain the ramdisk image u 
could copy the file initrd-X.X.XX.img to the floppy.

& after installing pl. select LILO as ur boot manager. u will like it.
