cracked out floppy install

[daniel]

i've been trying to install freebsd-5.3RELEASE on this old computer on and off 
for days now.  i downloaded the floppies, watched the thing boot and each and 
every time, it'll get to the little beastie prompt where it counts down and 
is *supposed* to run sysinst but instead, it just reboots!

i even went out and bought a new set of floppies and it still doesn't work, so 
i'm posting here.  suggestions?  comments?  here's my specs:

  amd-k6 133mhz
  16mb ram
  4gb hd

instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.
