Hmm... I thought they would work. What goes wrong? I guess they are just
a dos format and that doesn't handle an incorrect size well. (The base
images are a multi-part tarball I believe.)

They were the first attempt. We ran out of space so we made bigger disks.
You can try to format your floppy for the larger size (check the
debian-testing archives, it may be in there).
The better solution is to find the 1440 disks. They are enroute now, i.e.
sitting in incoming: ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian/Incoming/
