All the udebs you need for a network install are on the net-drivers
floppy.
All the udebs you need for a CD install are on the cd-driver floppy,
unless you have a pcmcia cdrom, then you need the net-drivers floppy
too, to get the pcmcia udeb. Since that's not the configuration you
described, you should not need to use more than one driver floppy, or
modify the floppies at all. Specifically, you seem to be under the
impression that you need the cd-drivers floppy to get the installer to
support your buslogic scsi controller. But you don't. Once the installer
is on the network, it will download all the scsi drive udebs.
