Someone from the Seawolf mailing list gave me the solution.

Yes! It works.
It's slow, the loading of the module takes like 2 or 3 minutes, and the
install was painfully slow, but after that everything was ok.
- I used "text linux noprobe"
- selected NFS as an install method
- when asked about Devices, selected eepro100
- specified the address of the network card
- Add Device again, selected SCSI, then Mylex
- (wait 2...3 minutes) :-)
- select Done
...and the installation starts.
