Pick the 4 MB boot floppy (floppies/boot4.flp) from one of the newer
SNAP releases, and try to install with this one.  I think it should be
possible to install a 2.1R system with them as well, but you have to
give it a try.

If you can remap the ``ISA hole'' on your machine, this might already
be sufficient for plain 2.1.
