Slackware 8.0 install error

[Rodney]

Well I reluctantly got some sighted assistance to see what my problem is
during the install.  The boot disk took 4 minutes 34 seconds to get to
the root floppy install prompt.  My Doubletalk LT did not start talking
until the prompt appeared and then it read all of the messages up to the
prompt.
I installed the root floppy and pressed enter and got the following
results.
 
vfs: insert root floppy and press enter.
vfs: insert root floppy and press enter
vfs: mounted root (minix file system) read only.
