Did you do the network setup part of the install?  It might not be in
the 'default stream' of the install, but it's certainly possible to get
to it.  Also, if you have a CD drive (even if you can't boot from it),
installing via a netinst CD is muuuuuuuuuuuch simpler than a pure floppy
one.  http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ has a few.  Eduard Bloch's has
always worked well for me.
