Yes, there are several. I checked first on my machine with

then double-checked at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages by searching

Is it a bug?
I am trying to generate a new set of boot disks for an old system (see

I see that the boot floppies use a kernel 2.2.20.
There is not a stable package for kernel 2.2.20!

You can also create boot floppies off the Debian CD. There should
be a directory on the cd called disks-i386. It contains the boot
floppy image files. You will also need the utility rawrite2 from
the dosutils directory (or somewhere on the net like
ftp.us.debian.org).
