1. boot from boot-floppy
2. fdisk, make /, swap (and /var)
3. mkswap /dev/hda[x]
4. sync
5. swapon /dev/hda[x]
6. start installation program, possibly install via NFS or
something else that doesn't require you to load a ramdisk

You'll need:
- ide-disk
- ext2 (just 35k, fast)
- network driver _module_
- ipv4 basics + routing/firewalling code
- procfs
- possibly ipx/ipv6/bootp _modules_
The reason for modules is simple, faster startup and
e2fsck :)
