Thanks! I should have read the i386 installation documentation more
clearly. It says about "compact":
These built in drivers allow you to take full advantage of the
Debian installer's net install feature to install the Driver
Floppies and/or base system over the network so that only the
root and Rescue Floppy disks need to be made.
I didn't download the "compact" set I just used the "regular" (i.e.
potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/rescue.bin and
potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.20/root.bin)
I'll give the "compact" sets a try. Thanks again.
