To be honest, I've never had to do this on Debian, but I've had to make 
other changes during install - at some point when Sarge was still 
"Testing" the installer tried to add ftp apt sources before setting up 
network, and hung as a result.  Basically what I did was press 
Alt+F2/F3/ect until I get a working console, do what I need to, and then 
switch back to the installer.

Another poster mentioned using the 2.4 kernel - you might have to do 
that and then roll your own 2.6 kernel (you might have to fix your fstab 
because the device names will probably change).
