I might be wrong, but I think the 735's "Outfield" fast-wide SCSI
adapter is not supported - at least not in the kernel on the 0.9.3
CDROM (2.4.9).  The 0.9.3 ISO is a bit old by now, it was released six
months ago in Dec 2001.  The CVS kernel is up to version 2.4.18-pa44.  

Can you move your diskss to the supported controller?  That way at least
you'll be able to get an install happening.

Current net-install CDROM images can be downloaded here:

Please read through this mailing list's archives for information on
installing with these images, as well as Q&As about hardware support.

Andrew.
