I just went through this with a old Gateway 486DX-66 box. I had a
old ISA 16 NIC that I assumed was a Realtek 8119. (which is not
really PnP btw) The only visible info on the NIC was the IRQ setting,
which I put on IRQ-5. I did a clean install of Debian with the 1.44
compact install. (1 rescue, 1 root and 2 driver disks) Went through
the install and picked the NE (or was it NE2000?) drivers and just
kept passing parameters to the install. (i.e., io=0x360 irq=5 did
it for me) I tried the io= parameter "without" the irq and it did
not work btw... but when I supplied both, it worked.
You'll have to pop open the case and identify the NIC, and write
down any info such as the chipset, irq, etc. Since you're inside
the box, you might as well write down the video card info as well.
Good luck!
