Before someone tries this and finds a problem, I should point out that I 
have done this on an IDE system using ext2 filesystems and booting with 
'linux text'. 
On systems with scsi, ext3, reiserfs, raid, etc. it will probably fail 
unless you do a little work and manage to provide modules built for the 
boot kernel. Updates disk, perhaps?

I just did another install to verify that it worked, and the only problem 
I found was that the NIC wasn't found at install time, probably because 
the driver couldn't be loaded.
