One problem down and one to go. I can get a limited shell. It
doesn't have lspci or fdisk. I want to see what shows up with
lspci -v and fdisk -l. I have a floppy if that helps.

You may want to try the nodma kernel option to get your CDROM recognised.
Didn't help
Also, the latest Knoppix CD/DVD may have hardware drivers that fair
better than the Gentoo LiveCD. In my travels I have found that

no need, just download the slax modules. Slax is great like this -
especially if you install it on a cdrw, you can keep appending modules

FreeSBIE,
This is a FreeBSD live cd. Is it possible to install Gentoo from FreeBSD??
