Okay all, I found the option. I had hotplug disabled, so it was now showing up. The / trick helped :D I compiled the 3c589_cs driver into the vmlinuz image (loadable module support disabled), but it doesn't seem to recognize the hardware. As per Thomas, the initialization has to be done by initrd, but how can a kernel and initrd fit on a 1.44 MB floppy? and btw, udev is disabled in my install, I am using static /dev nodes.
