Solution:

        1)      apt-get install syslinux
        2)      mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sda1
        3)      syslinux /dev/sda1
        4)      mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
        5)      extract the contents of boot.img.gz to /mnt

Now you will have a bootable 512 MByte CF-Disk where you can put
other packages for installing
