That bootstring won't work. The "0.8" part is not valid at all.

Also, where did you get it from? It LOOKS like it is trying to boot an
already-installed system, but you said you haven't been able to boot from
a floppy nor from a CD, so I don't see how you could have an installed
system.

That is wrong too! Try leaving bootfile blank.
