If you can boot from a floppy and concurrently acces your cdrom, I can make you a modified version of linuxrc that only probes your unmapped cdrom device. Making a floppy from images/boot-grub.? creating the device on that floppy and replacing linuxrc should work. Replacing the kernel on that floppy with a one that has support for your network card build if the above solution works should give you the posiibility to grab the sys.tbz2 via ftp and install it instead of the one on the iso. > > : So you only have one partition you can use with gentoo? > : If we don't get the iso working on your machine, a solution could be > : using tomstbr (a single floppy distro) > : for installation.
