I just installed woody (from a pile of 1.4M floppies) onto my circa 1994 Intel 
486.  When trying to boot off the hard drive or off my boot floppy everything 
looks fine until

INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rcS"
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rc"
INIT: cannot execute "/bin/sh"
(above line repeated 9 more times)
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

At this point the system hangs for about 5 minutes.  Then the above "/bin/sh" 
error displays 10 time and the process repeats.

I started the system using the rescue and root floppies, mounted my partitions, 
and /etc/init.d/rcS and /etc/init.d/rc seem to be there, with execute 
permissions set for everyone.  I unmounted and e2fsck'd my partitions and they 
seem to be okay.

What should I try next?
