We ended up booting the half completed install - and then loading the driver from the 9.0.2-Upgrade.zip archive from a floppy at the boot prompt. (This updated the card firmware). Then we rebooted and re-installed from CD with the older 4.10-STABLE drivers. Everything worked perfectly. It would have been neater to load the driver as the CD was booting and then do the install in one go.home | help
