Method: I loaded the net-1440 image on a floppy and booted.
Machine: Compaq Presario 700 Processor: AMD Memory: Root Device: IDE Root Size/partition table: Output of lspci:

Comments/Problems:
The hw-dectection (discover?) suggested rtl8139 instead of 8139too (perhaps discover-data needs an update). (Why aren't these modules compiled into the kernel?)
When I came to "Load installer modules" I got:
wget: 404 Not Found Segmentation fault
General comment: I don't like menus (besides the fact that they are too large to fit on my screen). Why not provide the user with a shell prompt and a written user guide instead? Think of an operating system (or a sequence of more powerful systems) speficically tailored to bootstrap (the installation of) Debian (from a floppy/CD). When you consider time is due, you can create a GUI wizard that automate things as much as possible (perhaps specific for i386 to keep it simple) as an alternative user interface.
