I used the i386 floppy images to install to a Sony PCG-C1X which has no
CD-ROM or floppy disk controller. Booting was done via a USB floppy
drive. Boot followed by root disks (in expert mode) worked until I was
prompted for a driver disk. The system failed to see the network
driver image, and simply returned to the load driver prompt each time I
tried.
Workaround:
I changed to another virtual console, mounted the corresponding SCSI
device to /floppy, changed back to the setup console, and installation
proceeded from there via a Netgear PCMCIA network adapter.
