Given that it has a CF slot, and I presume you are doing to install Debian on
the CF, then the easiest way to do this is to build the root partition on
the CF from a PC, and then boot that. I have done this many times with WRAP
cards. Depending on the size of the CF you may need to strip some things
out (like /usr/share/doc) before it will fit (I installed onto a disk and
then stripped things out and then copied the contents and ran lilo to build
a boot sector).
If you do not want to attach a CRT/LCD and keyboard, you might also try
setting the boot parameters to use a serial console.
