Did you try the pre1 CDs or the 2.1_r0 CD's that were uploaded
yesterday?

Hook up a spare hard drive?
The only thing you can do without writing to disk would be to make
sure the CD boots into the install program with both "linux" and
"linux-2.2".
I guess you could also try booting into Debian, setting up dselect for
multi-cd and pointing it at the second CD. I really haven't fully
tried the multi-CD stuff - I've only burned the first CD.
