Two options:  
(1) boot BL3 from floppy and install from there  -or-
(2) create a DOS partition, boot from C:/BASLIN and install from there

It doesn't matter whether you use method (1) or (2) above.
The installation procedure is the same:
----------------------------------------------------
Use Linux fdisk to create a "Linux native" partition
Use mke2fs to put a filesystem on that partition
Mount that partition at /hd
Execute:  install-to-hd
----------------------------------------------------

It depends on how much RAM you have.  IIRC you have 256mb.
With that much RAM, no swap is needed.
