Cannot find out which driver is suitable for this device.

But things are going on and I am preparing 0.4.02 for installing FC2.
Currently I have tested install methods: cdrom, image, rpms, ftp and nfs.

The weak point is, that installing with floppies cannot provide many
modules.  So it might be convenient that the huge rpm.gz is not needed
any more as it can be bootstrapped from the installation CDs using
busybox rpm.

At last I skipped dialog from the first disk and all the other tools
fdisk, cfdisk, setterm, slattach, nano, eject.  Either theire
functionality is provided by busybox or I don't know what they are
good for.  Only retaining mke2fs.

See other mail for news and questions.

- Franz
