So you have Redhat Linux 9 running now? Then this is the wrong list.
This one is for Fedora users.

Specific NIC model information is required. What does "/sbin/lspci"

Does the floppy drive function properly from Windows[tm]?

You need to mount it; see man mount. For instance: mount -t vfat
/dev/hda2 /mnt/whatever
