Okay Hans, I did this.  It seemed to boot fine, with a pause after
something that said like 8196 blocks, I assume that's normal, however,
when it go to detecting the pcmcia cards, this is what I got:

---
Intel, EtherExpress(TM)  PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16, PRO/100 M16A,
1.0 (manufacturer 0x0089, produc 0x010a) function 0 not configured
---

After this, there is quite a pause, of maybe 2 or 3 mins and then it goes
into Installer, but says no network card has been found.  ifconfig -a
doesn't show any workable ethernet card device.  I can pull the card out
and put it back in, and the pcmcia card shows up again, wit hthe same
message.  Any ideas what's going on?
