Why do you need IDE modules to get on the network and download the rest
of the installer? The floppy installation method works in only one of
two ways:

1. Boot the floppy. Load the CD drivers floppy. Load the rest of d-i
   from CD. Complete the install.
2. Boot the floppy. Load the net drivers floppy. Load the rest of d-i
   (including all other kernel modules) from the network. Complete the
   install.
