Install will copy the GENERIC kernel from the distribution, not from the floppy.
You will need to overwite the GENERIC kernel (that will be on your HD following
install) with a custom kernel that was built with support for your RAID card. This
same custom kernel needs to be on your boot floppy ( in gzipped form ) to start
the install also.
