For each installation the bootfloppy you use has to be different.
Create a boot/installation floppy by dd if=/mnt/cdrom/images/boot.img
/dev/fd0, and insert a 1.44 floppy in the a: drive. Then reboot and
continue installation.
If you dont have your linux installation ready, use rawwrite from windows
to make the bootfloppy.
