My solution was to grab the pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules-2.0.29 from
rex-fixed. The 1997-05-30 boot disks that I used (1.3.0 CD set from
i-connect) use kernel 2.0.29. I made an ext2fs floppy on another box,
stuck those two files on it, and hauled it over. After loading those two
packages, I was able to bring up the network (via my 3c589), and NFS mount
my source (the CD ROM accross the room)...
After than, I installed kernel-source -headers and -image for 2.0.30,
kernel-package, make, gcc, pcmcia-source and the other assorted suspects.
I then rebooted under 2.0.30, built my own cs and modules, and then
finished doing my installation (which I did by hand, rather than dselect,
just for a change of pace)...
