Good first step, using isapnptools. However, you also need to recompile
your kernel, since the default Debian kernels don't have any sound
options. i presume this is to avoid taking so much space for something so
unnecessary to getting the system basically working--note that, unlike
printers, each soundcard chipset requires its own drivers to work
properly; unlike ethernet, which may be necessary to finish the install,
sound isn't necessary.
Check the archives <http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/> for information
on which modules are required for a SB16PnP and various methods of
inserting them.
