If you can manage to make "tomsrtbt" bootable floppy disk, here is my 
installation of m0n0wall to HD.

   1. Use tomsrtbt bootable floppy to boot the system.
      (http://www.toms.net/rb/)
   2. At the "boot:" prompt, type "bz2bzImage ramdisk_size=10000"
      without the quotations.
   3. login as root with password xxxx.
   4. mknod -m 0660 /dev/cdrom b 22 0 (assumed cdrom is on hdc, use ls
      -l /dev to see the parameters).
   5. mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
   6. cd to the folder on the CD that contents m0n0wall image.
   7. gunzip -c generic-pc-1.11.img | dd of=/dev/hda bs=16k
   8. reboot.
   9. setup m0n0wall as usual.

Cheers
Raylund
