Install debian with floppy, usb no boot, no cd

["phoenix" <acunico@inwind.it>]

I try to search because I do not think to be the first having this
"problem" but I found nothing.

I have a portege 320ct, with floppy, usb no bootable, no cd.

I downloaded debian-31r4-i386-netinst.iso, then I created boot floppy
and extracted to usb the content of iso (also deploying in the root the
content of the floppy directory).

Then I boot from floppy, usb is recognized and loaded, installation
continues through usb and I always arrive to the same point (as when I
also created root & drivers floppies): installation wants to know where
is my cd. I hoped I would have been able to reach the installation
menu, to configure the network, to select packages, etc etc.

In other words, I'm not able to "teach" to the installation where the
netinst distro is.

I also create a bootable usb with syslinux, I copied the whole iso
file, I mounted the iso on the filesystem, but the menu is always the
same: it wants areal cd!.

Is there any hints?

Thanks a lot
