Comments/Problems:
I made three floppy drives (boot, root, and net-drivers). It booted well, read the root drive, asked for a driver diskette. I put the "net-drivers" diskette and it went pretty well until it started configuring PCI (or CardBus, I don't remember exactly) and stucked at 93% (as I remember). No PCMCIA card was inserted in the machine.
I had the exactly same experience about a month ago where I tried to boot from floppy and install from a USB driver.
