So the passing of the boot option and the initialisation of the display
worked for you?

This does not sound right. AFAIK, I did not include CDROM detection
support on the disks you downloaded yet. Also, when I tried
the install, it basically ran through, without presenting me the main-menu
at all. It could probably help if you could describe
what happened during the install a little more detailed.

What do you mean by "looped"?

The debian-installer directory on cvs.debian.org has a doc
subdirectory.

After you installed installer modules, you should have
a standard fdisk. At least I got that when I tried those
floppies.
