Hi!

I have to make an installation of Redhat Enterprise 3.0 on a Proliant DL320 (G3) server which has no floppy drive built in. There is also no floppy cable port available in the latest DL320 version.

My problem:
The SATA RAID controller of this server is not recognized by the Enterprise installation. So I have to use a driver floppy disk, which can't be used in this machine. The command would simply be "linux dd", if I had a floppy drive.
But is there an option to load a driver from another source like USB-Stick or CD-ROM?

If it is possible, please tell me how to get a driver working in a way like I described.

If not, we have to order a USB-Floppy drive. But that would take some time.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
