I got the same problem :

I start a floppy install, connecting to the internet (using the
net-drivers.img floppy), but it doesn'y seems to load the needed ide
drivers from the ftp.debian.org archive.

I solve it simply by loading the cd drivers from the cd-drivers.img
floppy image, and then the install process works good.

I get the floppy images today on :

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/

My system is :
	486dx4-100Mhz
	64Mo ram
	200Mo HD
	2 nics (3com isa & ne2k pci)

The installer run in low memory mode, and I run it in expert mode.

Note: I failed to load the cd-drivers after the net-drivers, but it
works in loading the cd-drivers first and then loading the net-drivers.


I'm sorry but I don't try the last floppy image from :

Hope it may help
