Of course, there is no floppy support.

The "Boot Floppies" are the "boot images" if you prefer. They can be used on CD or any other media support.

Perhaps you should take a look at the PA-RISC/Linux Boot HOWTO:
http://pateam.esiee.fr/doc.html

You'll find there useful info on various way to boot Linux on an hppa box (like from network, which is what I would recommend here).

Can you eventually try one of the 2.4.19 ISO or lifimage that you can find there:
http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/testing/
http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/lifimages/

Those are known to work on B1000. If they fail, then we may start looking for a problem related either to 3.0r1 CD or to your box (specific configuration ?)

HTH,
