The boot floppies are on the CD! Check out

Typo! root.bin, not boot.bin :)
And boot from the rescue.bin floppy =)

Besides that, when calling pppd, I get a message saying that the kernel

Marcel had last friday some new potato boot-floppies compiled and
made available at http://pandora.debian.org/~marcel/attic/boot-floppies/
The boot-floppies aren't there anymore...
Does anyone have a copy of them on the net???
Thanks,
Onno
