But generally speaking when you see the First Blue Screen press the [b]F6 Key[/b] and wait till you are prompted to insert a Floppy with the SCSI Driver on it.

You need to make a floppy with the SCSI Driver copied tot he Root of the Floppy not in a Folder just the SCSI Driver copied directly to the floppy. Then when you are prompted to insert the floppy you insert the floppy and press Enter.

If you don't have a Floppy Drive available or can not fit one temporally you can Slipstream a Install Disc with with either nLite or vLite as I'm not sure which one to use with Home Server

Neither actually List Home Server so you may need to try both though I would think that vLite will do the required job.

If you use vLite make sure the read the directions for use here
