"boot-floppies" are no more in Debian since Sarge.  The new installation
software for Debian is unimaginatively called "debian-installer".

This laptop look fairly recent.  I was not able to find a detailed
specifications, but it is possible that the CD-ROM drive is connected
through SATA.  The kernel shipped with Etch have limited support for
these devices.

Could you please try again with the Lenny beta1 version [1] of the
installer?  You can still install Etch with this version by adding
"suite=etch" at the boot prompt.

The other remaining options to install Etch are using an USB-stick and
doing a full network install.  Both are documented in the installation
manual. [2]
