I've never tied to install debian on a non ix86 computer so what I suggest
is perhaps irrelevant.
When you install from harddisk, only (v)fat and ext2 partitions are shown
(minix also ??? don't remember). Partitions of other types are'nt shown.
Do you have the option to copy your deb files on a vfat type partition (on
the Jaz cartridge for example.
An other solution is to put them on an ISO9660 CD with rockridge extensions.
