to answer this very generic question... there are many ways but they
all eventually devolve down to getting a ((kernel with the drivers
compiled in *or* a kernel/initrd image with the appropriate modules)
*and* a boot loader that can read the right disk). 

Invariably this will involve some bit of hackery either in the
installer itself, or in installing to some other disk and then
migrating over.
