Is it on CD? Did you FTP it? Having installed Slackware a number of times before I learned of Debian, I know this can be a frustrating experience. Personally, this is my take on the situation: I would ftp the rescue, drivers, and base disks from one of the debian sites... I always use ftp.caldera.com in /pub/mirrors/debian. Having installed Debian three days ago using that method, completely without flaw (except X, but that's a whole new ball of wax), I can only say that I think it should work for you, too.
