It looks to me like the second stage of the install was loaded from the 
cdrom, rather than a floppy containing disk2. This should work, but due 
to an error when I recently made changes, it fails.

If you use a floppy containing disk2, rpm ends up in /usr/local/bin/rpm. 
If you load it from CD, it is copied to /usr/bin/rpm. I'm fixing the 
scripts now.
