That message suggestes that you weren't in fact performing an 
FTP installation.  It looks like you were actually trying 
to install of floppies.  This course of action is all but 
hopeless, and an FTP installation is almost certainly  
what you actually wanted. 

When asked to select the installation mediamedium, be sure 
to select FTP.  You should be prompted for network 
configuration details and an FTP site from which 
to install.
