The plain vanilla 0.1 Tiny 386BSD install floppy worked for us the first
time. You should have your card configured as for windows (the way the
card comes from the factory stock).

There have been some reports of problems with active termination, but
we have not experienced this problem as yet. Active termination, however,
doesn't affect installation.

Perhaps a bit more information as to your configuration is in order (send 
me email).
