SOLVED:
i found it -- boy was this easy...
1) modconf
a) block devices
-> ide floppy
-> install, no fancy args
b) misc stuff
-> sb (soundblaster)
-> install, no fancy args
2) enjoy! (hafta "mount /floppy" to access the diskette,
but that's all there was to it!)
this was so painless i didn't learn anything, so i can't
exactly write a newbieDoc explaining how to get around all
those obstacles, 'cuz all i needed was modconf!
