All the cd's have pcmcia support, but I don't know for about a pcmcia
cdrom.  You can get details on the cd set here:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html

Assuming your pcmcia is a scsi card, you might be able to boot to it.
Otherwise you could do a floppy install for the base system, including
pcmcia, and then complete the install from the pcmcia scsi cdrom.  

You might want to search the debian-laptop and debian-user archives.
I know I've seen discussions on this sort of install on one or both of
these lists.
