Ag! Sorry; that doesn't address booting from loadlin; never mind.
Ah! Here we go.
http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/ch-rescue-boot.en.html#s-install-drive
and
http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html#s-rescue-images
So, _probably_ what you want are:
|http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/idepci/rescue.bin
|
|
<http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/root.bin>|
|http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/idepci/root.bin|
|http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/idepci/linux
||http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/dosutils/loadlin.exe
||http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/idepci/install.bat
This last "install.bat" file you may need to edit to your particular
setup; or you can just manually execute the correct line from that batch
file.

Sorry to double post, but for these specific files, the address begins with
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian-archive/dists/potato/main
because Sarge supersedes Potato.
I looked through Sarge, and could not find analogous files, so I will use
Potato, instead.
Besides, I have a particular affection for Potato. :-)
Perhaps if this works, someone can walk this newbie through an upgrade to
Sarge. Of course, they would probably be twisting my ear and waggling
their finger at my nose as they did so. {Blushes}

Hmmm. I can't seem to get in touch with either of these links, now. I know
the one was good when I did the install, and now I have a half installed
Potato Debian {all right, about five years out of date} on my machine.
I suppose I can look for the equivalant files for Sarge, however. :-)
Love & Friendship & Blessed Be!
