I found an Intel web site that details installation instructions for the F6
method. The url is: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/cs-021736.htm. Item 3 shows
six files,
beginning with "IAAHCI.INF" that should be on the floppy when prompted to
select S.
However, I can't seem to find the link to download these files onto a floppy.
