lspci is not on the boot cd. However I managed to install ssh before the 
initial reboot. Here you go:

Comments/Problems:
The initial boot (to finish the installation) fails with a kernel panic. 
I think it's megaraid driver module which isn't loaded correctly.

Here is the output of the kernel shortened to the relevant part:

....
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
megaraid: v1.18k (Release Date: Thu Aug 28 10:05:11 EDT 2003)
megaraid: no BIOS enabled.
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.o: init_module: 
No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 
1.00
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.o: insmod 
megaraid failed
Journalled Block Device driver loaded
pivot_root: No sKernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
uch file or directory


I already reported this together with another bug (#276379) which was 
fixed by Joshua Kwan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. He also wrote this:

It also happens with a Dell PowerEdge 2850 which has the same 
controller.
