Which net install CD? Sarge won't install on your machine. Etch
should.

I think sarge might be one of the ones missing the tg3 driver. I think
it came back later again, so probably Etch will solve that too.
Full CD has no more support for old hardware than netinstall. Same
installer and same drivers. You just need a version of debian that is
newer than your hardware (software developers are not very good at
predicting the future and writing drivers for hardware not yet
invented).
