I'm not familiar with the boot.img you're talking about, but debian
boot-floppies includes support for the 3c59x on i386 in the compact flavor. 
The latest Potato versions are available as follows.

<http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/rescue.bin>
<http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/root.bin>

This information is available in the Debian Installation Manual at 
<http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/#new-inst> which appears to have
a Spanish translation at
<http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/index.es.html>.

Hope that helps.

Stephen
