'modprobe aic79xx' works just fine from VT2, but when I try go back to
VT1 and detect hardware again, again it isn't found. I am running the
installer from a usb drive with the netinst image (rc2). I've also
tried this from a CD running the netinst image (rc1), which had the same
results.

I can't find 'lspci'. I tried 'find / -name lspci', and I tried 'cat
/proc/pci', but /proc/pci doesn't exist.
