Verify your boot= and pkgpath.cfg settings. Boot= should be the floppy disk, and pkgpath.cfg should list your CD. Verify when the modules package is loaded, it's loading from both the main package from the CD, and your local configuration from the floppy. Unpack modules.lrp on your floppy, and make sure etc/modules contains what you expect. To do this, mount your floppy, cd to /tmp, and run "zcat /mnt/modules.lrp | tar -xv". Then edit /tmp/etc/modules and verify it's contents... If there are any problems, edit /etc/modules as desired. Verify it works by running "svi modutils start"...you will get errors about any modules already loaded, which you can ignore or make go away by removing all modules prior to this test (use rmmod <module> and lsmod). Once all modules are loading correctly manually, backup modules, making sure you set the backup type to 'partial', and the destination to 'fd0'. If you still can't get things running, the only other thing to try is going back to the 'old' way of loading modules, from /lib/modules instead of directly from the CD. Copy the modules you need to /lib/modules, edit /etc/modules as required (remove the ! commands), and do a FULL backup of modules to your floppy.
