I went through the exact same thing (and I was shocked the woody
base* images were not there, too). I just created the root and rescue
floppy for potato, wrote the base*.tgz (for potato) and the drivers.tgz
to a CD-R and installed potato. From there it's really easy to change
your sources.list to point to testing and do a apt-get -u dist-upgrade
(you may want to do apt-get -us dist-upgrade first to make sure
everything looks OK). I didn't run into too many problems with that
method.
