When I boot disk 1, it complains about not having an mbr partition and bails. I'm guessing it's expecting some OS and hard disk to be present to install to.
Huh! You noticed them just a little sooner than I did. Reading betweent he lines of the README, it looks like they were being very careful about MBR matters. I think a hard disk image with an empty MBR should be enough.
