Either you need to load essential modules from a floppy or your hardware
isn't supported by bf24 natively. See this URL: http://www.debian.org/
releases/stable/installmanual. Look for Intel x86 instructions. Then,
visit section 11.2.3.3 for the driver files. However, you may need to use
the vendor driver, compiled against the bf24 kernel, then loaded from a
floppy. See section 10.4 for instructions on loading drivers from a
floppy.
I hope this helps.
