If you can boot from a floppy and concurrently acces your cdrom, I can |
12 |
make you a modified version |
13 |
of linuxrc that only probes your unmapped cdrom device. Making a floppy |
14 |
from images/boot-grub.? creating |
15 |
the device on that floppy and replacing linuxrc should work. Replacing |
16 |
the kernel on that floppy with a |
17 |
one that has support for your network card build if the above solution |
18 |
works should give you the posiibility to |
19 |
grab the sys.tbz2 via ftp and install it instead of the one on the iso. |
