    Comments/Problems:

    My system has SCSI hard drives and CDROM connected to a Adaptec 274x
    EISA card. This card should be supported by the aic7xxx driver, but the
    floppy boot never loaded the module. I was able to install RC1 on
    another system that used the aic7xxx, but that system booted directly
    off the CD. This system also uses a NIC that's supported by the HPLAN_PLUS module, which apparently is not part of the net-driver.img floppy.

    aic7xxx is in the scsi-common-modules udeb on the cd-drivers floppy.
    Did you load that driver floppy? Can you send us lspci and lspci -n
    output?

    hp-plus is not included in d-i, will fix.
