Yes, the floppy-retriever appears to allow mounting any arbitrary block device in lieu of a floppy if /dev/floppy/0 is not available. I don't know if it's feasible to use a driver CD for this. That would depend on whether the install CD is mounted at the time, which in turn depends on whether the CD drive has gotten autodetected before there's a chance to ask the installer to look for the additional driver disk. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
