(update)
Well comming from SRM or ARC, I am getting kernel panics..
Useing the rescue.bin(noname) from http://lhpca.univ-lyon1.fr/axp/debian.html
I am getting a slightly different dead end..(I wrote it down)
--
Partition check
sda: sda1
VFS: Insert root floppy to be loaded into the ramdisk and press enter.
reading iso first volume descripter
looking for iso ID
RAMDISK: ex2 filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Image too big! (523915/4096 blocks)
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Warning: Unable to open an initial console (/dev/console).
Kernel Panic: Cannot open initial console

This was got from: 
MILO> boot fd0:linux root=/dev/sda1 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1

useing boot fd0:linux root=/dev/fd0 .... says cant load from 002(floppy)
