I've run in to the same (or similar) problem. In my case, another driver in the kernel prevented the DAC960 driver from loading (I don't remember the exact error messages). What I ended up doing was loading the module from another floppy to complete the installation, then building a kernel on another system with the DAC960 driver compiled-in and using that instead of the stock kernel to get the system running. There's probably an easier way to fix it, but that worked for me.
