You still can, if you have a supported network device:

interupt (with ctrl-c) the installation, after the netowrk is configured,
or before and configure it manually.

Use ftp or an nfs mount to copy /kerm/msgbuf to a target computer.

If all else fails - can you take a photograph of the screen showing the
startup messages?

I checked the sources, just to be sure:

a) the INSTALL kernel configuration contains this:

wdc0            at mainbus0             # A4000 & A1200 IDE bus
atabus*         at wdc? channel ?       # ATA bus
wd*             at atabus? drive ?      #  + drives
atapibus*       at atabus?              # ATAPI bus
cd*             at atapibus? drive ?    # ATAPI CD-ROM drives
sd*             at atapibus? drive ?    # ATAPI disk drives

so

wdc0 at mainbus0
atabus0 at wdc0 channel 0
wd0 at atabus0 drive 0: DESCRIPTION
atapibus0 at atabus0
cd0 at atapibus0 drive 1: DESCRIPTION

should be reported in your case.

Shouldn't be necessary - but you can always try.
