I haven't installed from floppies for a while, but I seem to recall that after
disk 7 it was supposed to boot up in PM mode. If it asked for Disk
i, what happened then? Did the gui come up? It should give you a
graphical progress indicator and ask you to feed the rest of the
disks, one at a time, for a loooonnng time.
If PM doesn't start, check your config.sys and look at the settings
entries you fed it for video card and such during the early disks. It
must not have liked something you told it.
Try to give us some clues as to what the indications are that you
had a problem. Reverting to an earlier disk is not unusual, and not
necessarily a bad thing if it proceeds with what it was supposed to
do - install the disks and boot up in graphical mode.
