You should be able to boot up with the Gentoo liveCD and use that to start the
Debian installation manually -- from what I remember of my brief bout of
infidelity, I don't think it needs the CD drive once it has booted. (If it
does, try the Ubuntu or Mepis CDs; both of which are Debian underneath).
Make sure your internet is working, though. Before the mid-install reboot, you
will need to download and build an up-to-date kernel. (Or you could cheat
and just copy the kernel from the boot CD; but you'd do best to build your
own as soon as possible afterward.)
