>>What would cause Installation Disk 1 to try installing
>>the files to the floppy disk instead of the hard disk?
it expects the DOS partition to start the disc.
it tries to mount /dev/hd0disk (inter alia) on /n/c
but if that fails, it continues, and since the
empty directory /n/c was left writable on the installation floppy, it writes the files there until
it runs out of space.
