I had this problem with one of my pc's at home, but not the others. Kind of funny(right). You can get all five install floppies at http://public.ftp.planetmirror.com/p....1/rootdisks/.
Just download install.1 thru install.5.

This is probably why it won't boot:

the problem can mean 2 things

1. your bios is old
2. your cd-rom is not bootable

and if you are planning to boot from disks

than use bootdisks
and ofcourse rootdisks to get the install program working
