Yes, I tried it, but nothing.
Otherwise, I've found the problem. I've entered on machine setup and I've
seen "Plug&Play" was off. I put it on, and I can install it without problem.
arggg!!!!  That's all falks. ....
Thanks.

Jorge,

"noprobe" tells the installation not to probe the hardware
"dd" should tell installation to prompt you for a driver diskette

Have you tried to just boot without options?

Kind regards,
