You need the pcmcia.sys file on the 2 disk (disk 1) and the basedev=xxxxxxx for your scsi card on the third disk (disk 2). I used the pcmcia driver from warp 3 to make these disks, and it worked well. BTW, there is a read.me file on the cd-rom which tells you to do this. It also tells you which files you can safely remove from the bootdisks. > Alternatively, I could install remotely over ethernet.

Does anybody know how to make the remote install program > feed to adaptor 1 or 2? Are you sure about this. The first adapter should be your ethernet card, and the protocols should be attached to this (see mtps). The protocols are all attached to this adapter. Here at work we use 4 protocols over the card, and the remote install worked fine (the first protocol is ieee 802.2 ). If you have any questions feel free to send me a mail.
