If you think it's confusing now you should have seen it when Debian 2.0
came out :)

You can't install Debian off FTP. You're "limited" to http and nfs.

You need the rescue disk, root disk, and driver disks. After that
everything can be retrieved off the network.
Basically write the rescue, root, driver-1, driver-2, driver-3, driver-4
floppy images from
http://tux.creighton.edu/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/.
And use those to install from.
