Hi,

in linuxrc go one step "back" and that menu should have a "kernel modules"
entry and in that submenu you can choose to load a networking driver.

(but please be aware of the partitioning problem already mentioned on
this list unless you already have a partitioned drive) (sorry, but I still
haven't found the time to hack on this issue ...)
