Comments/Problems:
The laptop has a PCMCIA ethernet card (3c575_cb module) which is not
listed among the network card choices. I did try 3c59x which is the
appropriate kernel-based PCMCIA modules, but had same results.
After selecting the option that none of the cards were appropriate,
the installer did a little more hardware detection, and then tried to
start cfdisk. The install ended in the error saying that cfdisk could not
open the disk. System frozen at this point; had to power down.
There currently is a debian system on the laptop (an expendable
system), and cfdisk has no problem seeing the partition table.
