Thanks, but on "configure device driver modules" I get:
No modules were found in /target/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4 that could be
configured. Please install the kernel modules first, by running the
"Configure Device Driver Modules" step
This is ironic since it's that step I'm in....
I think it has to do with lack of PCMCIA support for the drive in which
the CD is.
