PDC20268 support in boot disks

[Ben Marsh <ben.marsh@bigpond.com>]

I have been downloading iso images with the hope of doing a net install 
of debian unstable (hopefully) bypassing stable and testing to save on 
downloaded megabytes.  However all the isos seem to use the same boot 
kernels and none of them seem to have the driver for the Promise 100Tx 
PCI IDE controller (PDC20268 chipset) in them.  My hard drive is to big 
for the motherboards bios so I have it attached to this card.  I have no 
floppy drives.

Is there anyway around this problem?  Is the driver not included to save 
space?

I have redhat on there at the moment (the boot cd found the controller) 
but I miss apt-get :-(
