beg pardon?  debian requires two, root & boot.   It also requires either
the 3 disks, or a file (base1_1.tgz) be available in the top two levels
of the file system.

Given a CD packaging, i suspect that the requirement for the root disk
could be eliminated, making it one disk (but i don't know enough about
file systems; don't hold me to this :).  

Similarly, a pair could be made with nfs support in the boot kernel,
which would require an nfs source for the rest of the files.
