Any chance you could just put a NIC into the Pentium system and do a network install? Maybe you can't, but if you can .. that makes all of your problems go away. You could just put all of the files out on another system and do the install. You may have thought of this already and it is not a choice, but I thought I would suggest the obvious first.
