Feisty Installation Problem

I've downloaded & burned the Fiesty distro. On boot up I get the commonly reported error "/bin/sh:can't access tty; job control turned off"

I have tried the following fixes but to no avail

- On F6 (more options) I have deleted splash, quiet and -- and added break=top
- I have also tried 'add_generic_ide' instead of break=top
- On some forums on the net, I have found people suggesting that putting a floppy in the floppy drive works!....I tried that but I get this error message:
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector0

I know this has been a common error discussed on this forum but I would really appreciate if someone can help me out here, I'm sick of Microsoft and would really like to start using Ubuntu. I'm a noob in linux so easy to follow instructions will be greatly welcomed.
