If you dare to try the frozen distribution of Debian potato you find
bootfloppies at
http://koenig.isr.uni-stuttgart.de/debian
For the XP1000a you should use the generic flavour of the bootfloppies.
If you try them we'd be very grateful (just for testing purposes).
I send the preliminary short instructions in a separate email.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
