If you have a gateway on the lan, it is very simple. Switch to an active
console during second stage installation an log in as root. By hand:
# insmod <networkcarddriver> (or modprobe <...>)
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# route add default gw 192.168.1.254 eth0
and edit /etc/resolv.conf:
domain sacred-key.org
nameserver 130.161.180.1
nameserver 130.161.180.65
with your favorite data. You should be able to have a network connection.
When this works, you can use 'modconf' to configure your network card and
edit /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.3
