   Have you considered installing ArcaOS? I hear it's all the rage with these kids now a'days.

   DOS 6 can only handle 2GB partitions
   
   since you have both floppy drives and a CF reader (what interface is the CF reader? it might need to be IDE for the system to actually detect it as a harddrive), maybe try using your other machine to format the CF card and partition it into 2Gb partitions then plug it back into the 486, boot to the DOS floppy and install that way
