problems with installing Debian from floppies...

| I have problem with those debian floppies...
I have:
Rescue (Boot), Root, Linux and driver 1-4 disks. And when I try to start
installation I insert Boot disk and then Linux disk and kaboom. It will
load sometime, but after that it will start doing weird thigs.
It shows a message style of:
0210
FF:4346
AX:4363
DD:4236
and it does it until hell freezes over. I have tried to write that
linux.bin to other disks, but since every floppy I have are new I don't
think that problem is in those floppies. So it must be in that linux.bin
floppy image. So what do I do now? I have tried to download that linux
floppy again and writed it but it didn't worked.
So what do I do now?
I am experienced Linux user with Gentoo, Redhat and other in famous
distros and I'd like to give a try for Debian since one of my friend
told me about it. But looks like this is it. I'll have to wait for my
computer components arrive from post before I can burn debian dvd...

If you already have a version of Linux working on the machine, with
networking operational, it may be possible to avoid using floppies
altogether. I have successfully installed a Debian system that way.
