Läser man install.htm på mdk:s installationscd, borde det gå, det är ett av
de supportade sätten. Sen blir det ftp/nfs/http installation, men du måste
få maskinen att boota med hd.img

3. Other installation methods

If for any reason the previous methods do not fit your needs (you want to
perform a network install, an install from pcmcia devices or ...), you will
also need to make a boot floppy: 

Under Linux (or other modern UNIX systems) type at prompt:
 $ dd if=xxxxx.img of=/dev/fd0

cdrom.img       install from CD-ROM
hd.img          install from hard-disk 
                (from a Linux, Windows, or ReiserFS filesystem)
network.img     install from ftp/nfs/http
pcmcia.img      install from pcmcia devices (warning, most pcmcia network
                adapters are now directly supported from network.img)
hdcdrom_usb.img 
                install from a hard-disk or a cdrom connected to USB
network_gigabit_usb.img 
                install from network with a gigabit or USB adapter
blank.img       install using your own Linux kernel
