RTFM, this is covered in the installation manual.  8:o)

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html#s-boot-drive-files

That should get you started, but you really should read the rest as
well, to give you a good idea what you're up against.  Quick glance
through, you're going to have to find a way to install LILO before
anything else, or get a *real* DOS prompt and not one of those
immitation Windows DOS shells.

You're probably better off borrowing a CDROM or floppy drive from
another computer.
