ISA detection is shaky. Your chance is to add DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low to the
boot prompt. Then you have a chance to enter irq io and the like. However,
you are then asked a lot more questions. (This is also known as booting
"expert" at least on the CDs, I'm not sure, whether this works on the boot
floppies as well.

well then.

The installer uses approx. 32 MB, installs with that much RAM have been
reported to work. So the first answer is no. HOWEVER, there is a chance if
you are able to create and activate a swap partition before the modules are
downloaded, thus making more room available for the ram disk.
Search the archive at http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot, there was some
discussion about this this or last month.
Thanks for your report, and hope this helps.
Cheers,
Erich
