Last weekend I learned the hard way that the netinst CD installs
a 386 kernel, so not a 686 kernel, on Intel(r) Pentium(r) IV(pd)

Nice offer. Realize its more then one problem :-)
Start with installing a 686 kernel [1]

As you have a running system, please send the output of
( lspci ; lspci -n ) | sort
of the computer with eth1 being a firewire device.

[1] Sorry, no details. I would try before the reboot to
`chroot /target` and `apt-get install kernel-image-686`
with the netinst CD. Or netbooting because I have an other
computer available as server for netbooting.
I'm not sure which CD image supports 686 kernel best.
