hum yeah .sit is as proprietary as they come...
well another thing you could try is getting a COFF format kernel and
putting that on a hfs floppy (with hfsutils) or maybe dd it (don't

known to work but it takes the right incarnation of the kernel and a
wee bit of black magic in OF.

i think there is but i don't want to reboot to check ;-) otherwise
cdimage.debian.org will allow you to create a CD image provided you
have loads of disk space and a high speed connection.
