install.sh is inside drivers.tgz (You can check by substituting -t in
the zcat command). So I suspect that extracting into the /tmp
directory, which is on the ramdisk, that you're running out of
space. You could confirm with df, but that's what's happened to me
before. Instead, try extracting in /target/tmp which is on your hard
disk.

install.sh knows exactly what to do, you just have to get that
out of the original drivers.tgz.
Matt is a great programmer, and very familiar with boot-floppies,
which is why he chimed in. It's better to leave the discussion on
the list, and whoever can help will.
