Initially, image_map are applied in the X-Y plane.
To apply them to your floor, you need to rotate it.

Just add : rotate 90*x

plane{y,0
	pigment{image_map {jpeg "wood.jpg" scale Something} rotate 90*x}
}
The image will repeat infinitely to cover all of the plane.
scale Something is used to adjust the size of the image if it's not 
square or need to be larger than a 1x1 repeating tile.
