"expert noauto" worked for me.
If memory serves, you should be able to do it like this: Be sure to have no
PC cards in the system during install and the first reboot. Then get the
newest pcmcia-cs package (ftp://pcmcia.sourceforge.net/pub/pcmcia-cs/) from
a floppy, build and install it. Reboot and then you can install PC-cards
and configure networking, etc. for the cards.
