What do you mean "no boot floppy"?

Or are you looking for a floppy from which you can install debian on your
mac? Maybe you want to read the quickinstall isntructions which was written
by Mac users, in short, installing from floppy is not supported on m68k, you
need to boot Linux from MacOS, unless somebody comes up with a clever idea
how to initialize Mac hardware from Linux

 Start the Linux Installation process.

 Double-clicking on the "Penguin" icon in the "install" folder starts the
 Installer.  The Penguin starts up, shuts down the MacOS, loads a kernel in a
 ram disk and starts the installation program.
