Hope you already some exprience with Debian
and it's installation procedure.
Install the debian package 'boot-floppies' and the packages on which it relies.
Read the document /usr/share/doc/boot-floppies/README
mir:/usr/share/doc
$ cd boot-floppies/
mir:/usr/share/doc/boot-floppies
$ ls
README changelog.gz copyright
mir:/usr/share/doc/boot-floppies
$ less README
This package allows you to create a Debian installation system on
floppy disk or other media, for bootstrapping Debian onto a new
system. Most users will simply download the disk images to do this, so
the boot-floppies package will generally only be used by advanced
Debian maintainers.
When not building, but just testing, you can get ready images at
