    have you tried booting from the first CD. I think the floppy based
    kernel is cut down a little to save space, so it may not have the
    required driver on it.

    If you can't boot from the CD (like bios won't support it), you'll have
    to build you own floppy images with the perc 4e driver in that kernel.
    See the hnadbook for how to do this..
