just as an alternative to holes and bolts (no problem with them but they're obviously fixed locations) I bought/use "C clamps" - at least that's what they're called over here.
They don't damage the beam at all (though our flooring - in this house - is 8"x2") and can be moved really easily if the space the hammock's in gets used for more 'man stuff'! or can add another set in minutes if one of the kids feels like accompanying me.
I use short webbing loops through them, and then climbing carabiners to clip the whoopies into.
