That notebook reference provides more useful data :-)

Take a look into this HCL, your computer seems to be listed here:

http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/Toshiba/Dynabook+SS3480

So, by following this information, in order you get the hard disk and cd 
rom (both are IDE devices) detected you'll need to load "piix" driver.

Ethernet card seems to need "e100" driver.

HTH.
