The problem is that they've got a different sequence of HD probing and device driver installation on the floppies and on the CD for the case when it get to the devices that aren't supported by the drivers included on the CD. So, use the floppies to boot with, then when it asks - feed the SCSI-U2 driver floppy, and the CD-ROM when it asks for it. If you need further details, feel free to ask me - otherwise it's not in the scope of this list. Cheers!
