Enter "tr", write it down and report a bug. Have you tried another kernel,
maybe 1.5, 1.5.1 or the snaphshot of 1.5ZA? Why don't you install the
kernel only from floppies, reboot, switch to CD and install the rest?
Well, this is no solution if it even panics while booting from floppy, but
you might try it.
