Dunno it this will help or not, but I use it here. If that thing has a CDROM on it, you can use the Windows "rescue" floppy to boot to a command prompt "with CDROM SUPPORT". On my WinME rescue floppy, it is option 2. Place a Debian CDROM in the CD player and let the system boot off the floppy to the "A:" prompt. Change over to the CDROM drive letter (it will tell you which one it is) and go to the install directory. Run "boot.bat" and you are off to the races.
