No, the installation doesn't see the drive and says something like 
(paraphrasing) "Since there is no hard drive you must be trying to 
install from a network. Please configure your network settings to continue"
Usually I would get a prompt to create a swap partition then a prompt to 
    create a root filesystem.

I've been reading many differing opinions about this. Some say the 
kernel should detect the drive, others say I need to install knoppix 
then do a dist-upgrade to linux. I'm confused. Should the bf2.4 image 
work and if not does anyone know where I can get a boot image that will 
work?

Thanks!
