That is very similar to the dual disk and OEM style install I demonstrated for
1.2.
Basically, the OEM style version had a complete copy sitting on a partition.
That booted and installed 1.2 to a new partition. The installer activated that
new partition during installation. Subsequent boots went straight to the users
installed partition. However, this also has two interesting effects. First, it
leaves the CD contents on the other partition and the user can easily install
or remove packages. Also, provides a recovery partition to reinstall the OS.

If your networking driver is working, consider trying EtherDFS. It’s works
pretty good for transferring files to/from DOS and a Linux server.
