Following the suggestion of Jong http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195&page=7 I was able to boot from ubuntu 8.04 HH live CD desktop. After selecting language, install, F6 I entered:
all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll
The image booted from cd-rom and the installation proceeded without problem. I am hopeful others will have the same success.
