I see the same errors on a new Gigabyte 430HX board.  Fortunately, the
kernel doesn't hang but gets mostly soft errors reading the floppy.  I
was able to get enough of the installation binaries on the harddisk to
continue with the installation.

I have the problems with both 1.2 and with -current as of 2 weeks ago.

The supplier mumbled something about the "floppy mode 3" being a known
source for this type of problem.  Disabling that mode in the BIOS
setup didn't change anything, though.
