In this step the installer tries to detect additional hardware, which is not supported by the kernel and to load kernel modules for it. Since probably all drivers needed for installing are included in the kernel, you can simply press return and not use any "drivers floppys" (obviously since you don't even have a floppy drive). BTW the hardware detecting part is currently reworked to use discover2 which will play nicer with 2.4 kernels. gaudenz
