However, after examination of the contents of boot.img, I thought it might be a good idea to try passing conf files from the bios boot loader. I configured the bios to pass 'elilo.conf' and it successfully booted. Yay!
I've reached parted, and I'm learning how to use it right now. Thank you for the help. :)

I downloaded, burned, and ran sarge-ia64-netinst.iso, but with no luck. On boot, the box lands in an 'EFI Boot Manager' which allows boot device selection. I point it at the cd (named 'cdrom2' in my configuration) and tell the boot manager to boot from there, and get:
Loading.: cdrom2 Starting: cdrom2 ELILO elilo.c(line 70):Kernel file not found Start of cdrom2 failed: Load Error
Looks like you told elilo to load a kernel called 'cdrom2'? I'd normally do something like 'fs2:' to switch to device 'fs2', and then 'elilo' which causes it to load elilo.conf from that dir.
I got the sarge iso from: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/ia64/daily/
Is there any further information I could provide which would help with debugging the ia64 boot for sarge?
Try an image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/netinst/ia64/
Those images have fixes to the bootimage layout, which should mean they can be booted rather more easily.
