Workarround for "No common CD-ROM drive was detected"



I am tring to install Debian Sarge in a computer with two SATA HDs and one IDE 
CD-ROM, I get the error "No common CD-ROM drive was detected".
I believe it is this bug: 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/12/msg00351.html
Any workaround to install Debian 3.1 with Linux 2.6 on that machine (Linux 2.4 
works, but I need 2.6 for other reasons, Ubuntu with Linux 2.6 works) ?
I tried floppies, they only have 2.4, any floppies with 2.6 ? can I install 
from the netinst image like from the floppies (downloading everything, not 
needing the CD itself ?).
I also tried an USB memory, but this machine won't boot from that device.
Thanks.
