G'Day !
IMHO ....
Since you got tiny linux to boot up, whay don't you do a minimal install with
Tiny Linux. Basically just the same stuff you would have on a Boot/Utility
floppy (see the HOWTO for details). Once you have that up and running it should
be now problem to install Debian via "dpkg"
It will be easier said than done, but it will work. :-)

Please respond Subject: Toshiba Satellite Boot
problems
to csnyder
I have gotten ahold of 3 Toshiba Satellite T1960CS/200 Laptop computers. I
wanted to install Debian on it, but I have had problems with the boot disk. I
have used the Potato Stable version, and have tried the Normal, Compact, and
IDEPCI boot disk. The Normal and IDEPCI give me a "boot failure" on the screen,
and will do nothing else, the Compact seems like it is going to boot, but then
switches and tries to boot off of the hard drive. The boot disk work on other
computers, and I have gotten Tiny Linux boot and work (based on Slackware). I
am by no means an expert at this yet, but I would like to know how I might be
able to boot and install debian on these machines. If anyone could help me it
would be appreciated.
