After looking into the install docs, I wrote install/smb.bin onto a floppy. I got the Smart Boot Manager Menu, but when trying to choose the CD-ROM, I just got a red dialog box saying "Disk error 0xAA" and nothing further happened. The current 100MB-Netinst-CDROM does not contain any root/rescue images (floppy-image.img is not bootable either). I don't have DOS/Windows available, so I cannot try loadlin. On a normal Debian package this would be a grave bug, so please lift the severity if appropriate.
