I don't think the above is necessarily a critical problem. Those drivers just aren't on the install disk (floppy, right?) and you need to get them from somewhere. If you're doing a net install, you've got to load the net drivers from the net-drivers.img floppy and then you can grab the disk drivers off the net. I think. I'm going through that right now with an older toshiba satellite and see the same thing, but I don't think its a show-stopper. A
