Right.
We don't test PCMCIA card.

This is kickstart file to install compute hosts.
If you insert boot floppy that created by EIT,
the host is booted linux and get IP address and some information from eitd.
And mount
     /opt/score/setup/RedHat/instimage
and
    /mnt/cdrom
on server host.
And access to kickstart file in
      /opt/score/setup/RedHat/instimage/compconf
and start install using anaconda NFS methord.

So boot floppy include at least NIC driver and nfs modules.
