You are the best test person for the testing boot-floppies with Firewire
source support. Please get the netinst CD image from:
http://people.debian.org/~blade/bf3024/
and report the results!

Using Unstable is not possible "from scratch". You should install a
plain Woody base, and before running dselect or tasksel (what the
base-config wizard suggests after reboot), change to the second console,
login as root and run
perl -pe -'s/stable/unstable/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list

Because we do not release a new boot-floppies release every two weeks
and do not always have time to implement all the user wishes or there
are some technical limitations.
