When I did a similar thing to you and had the same problem, I booted up
with the floppies and then pretended that I didn't need to configure
PCMCIA until I absolutely couldn't continue any further without it. It
drove me nuts figuring this out, but fortunately it worked because I was
about 60 seconds from having to re-install win95 back on my laptop.
