install disk boot problem



I'm trying to install Debian potato on my laptop.  I've got the generic
i386 disks (rescue.bin and root.bin + the drivers1-4, etc).

My laptop (a sony vaio picturebook) has a USB floppy drive and no cdrom.
So I generally do net installs of RedHat on it.

The floppy works great to boot the first disk, but it can't seem to find
the second disk (I assume the reason I never ran into this with redhat,
is that redhat only needs 1 disk for a net install, whereas debian needs
6 or whatever).

Is there a version of the boot disks that will use usb floppies, or am I
just plain out of luck?

jack.
