Hi Martin,
Thanks very much for pointing me to that. It took me a few minutes to realize
that I needed to use the ramdisk.gz and zImage from the archive. So, it's
installed and it boots. Is there any sort of group/mailing list for those of
us who have this running? I'd like to find out how to enable the LEDs for the
disks and those 3 LEDs on the bottom front panel. And then there's thermal
control of the fan to look into. It's going to get some 5TB disks and serve my
MythTV videos. My three existing 3TB drives are just about full. No RAIDs
(sacriliige I know!), just big disks holding videos that occasionally get
swapped out.
Also, is there a tutorial I could use to create my own archive of the mirror,
just in case it disappears? I believe I have more than enough available
storage.
Thanks again!
Bob - AE6RV

This came up on another mailing list recently:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2015/10/msg00185.html
squeeze moved to archive.debian.org.
You can try installing from there. When the installer shows you a
list of countries when choosing the mirror, choose "enter information
manually". See this screenshot:

Enter archive.debian.org as the hostname and /debian as the directory.
