Well, the daily root.bin turned out to contain an emtpty file system, so no wonder the installer didn't start. So, I tried using the rc1 root.img which I modified manually by removing all translations from the debconf templates to make the image smaller, and I was able to start the installer. The bad news is that not only the daily root.img is bad, also cd-drivers.img and net-drivers.img are corrupt; you can't even mount them. So I tried to load drivers from the rc1 floppies, and that sort of worked -- I successfully loaded some drivers, but neither the cdrom nor the network card were detected :-( So I'll wait for the next build, and I hope that new root and drivers images will work better.
