Now that I had some more time to think about it, this is only one part
of getting the modules onto your system.
You are able to install with these instructions, but you'll need the drivers
after the reboot as well.

The easiest way to achieve this it to start the installation and while all
those packages are being installed, to copy the modules to the dasd.

- rhsetup  (continue until the packages are being installed)
- open second terminal and connect to your machine
  (or use the 3270 terminal)
- cd /lib
- mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/ibm-2.4.5/kernel/drivers/net/
- cp lcs*.o qdio.o qeth.o /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/ibm-2.4.5/kernel/drivers/net

The other solution would be to wait until you're prompted for the root password.
Type it in two times and then mount the dasd containing your / partition.
- mount /dev/dasd1 /mnt/sysimage  (dasda1 contains /)
- cd /lib
- mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/ibm-2.4.5/kernel/drivers/net/
- cp lcs*.o qdio.o qeth.o /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/ibm-2.4.5/kernel/drivers/net
- umount /mnt/sysimage
