  This probably isn't what you want to hear, but I recently 
installed Debian "etch" on a PCG-R505TS, which is similar, and I 
couldn't get any of the bootable devices to work.
 
  What I eventually did was pulled the hard drive out of it, and 
installed a basic system onto it through a USB-to-IDE adapter
off another computer using debootstrap.  

  So, I don't know how to solve your problem, but there's a 
workaround for you.
