Hmm... I was sure boot disks should come with FPU emulation enabled.
Anyhow, get loadlin15 (it allows you to boot linux from DOS) and ask somebody
with linux already running to compile for you kernel with math-emu and other
options which you may need. Then copy the kernel together with loadlin.exe to
hard/floppy disk and boot linux (read manual of loadlin for details). Then it
will prompt you to insert root floppy and installation goes as usually.
