Last time I did the floppy install I think the problem was that it's
not /dev/rfd0a.  Sadly I can't remeber exactly what I typed
(and boy is it a pain since you have to keep rebooting).

Try /dev/fd0a maybe?  /dev/rfd0c?  /dev/fd0c?  
I don't remember.  Some poking around did get this to
work though.

good luck!

cheers
