When you boot from the floppy your card slots are under BIOS control so if you are installing off a USB CD rather than a PCMCIA CD you should be able to do an install that does not use PCMCIA drivers and install them later instead. Once the installer kernel with the USB driver is loaded from the floppy it shouldn't need to access the floppy anymore so you might be able to just eject the drive before the installer starts looking for hardware. If there is no boot floppy that has USB drivers without PCMCIA drivers then maybe you can pass an option to the installer somehow to not look for PCMCIA slots. I haven't tested this since I've only installed from the hard drive. The linux driver for the floppy (floppy_cs.o) is at http://libxg.free.fr/floppy/floppy.htm (I haven't used it yet).
