There is no install discs with support for the libretto floppydrive that
I know of, I solved the problem by using dos fdisk and split my disk in
desired partions, and using the swap partion for temporary storage of
the debian base system, and once I had everything up and running
reformated that partion as a linux swap.

One might make install discs if you patched a pcmcia based floppy
install disc with the patch for using the pcmcia floppy drive for
librettos. But I haven't tested that so I don't know if it would work..

good luck..
