    I plan to mention other arches in the call for testing, so I guess we'll
    find out.

    Of course there are ;-)
    http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/

    These use 2.6.22. They don't have the fix I just implemented though. If the
    IDE controller is not detected, try booting the installer with
    hw-detect/load-ide=true
    The daily built images, which do have the fix, use 2.6.24, but the increase
    in the size of the kernel causes the boot floppy to be too big so
    installing from floppy is currently not possible. We're working on fixing
    that.

    That's an alternative. Use either the netboot or hd-media images for that,
    and it means that you could use a daily image. With the hd-media images
    you'll also need to copy a CD image on the hard disk.

    Cheers,
    FJP

    (Apologies to the list for the somewhat OT post, suggest we follow up
    privately if needed.)
