The solution Sven has proposed can be improved, without all the mirror

it doesn't look like it (both parted and gparted also detect the

If not, it would have to be implemented there first.

the current setup for debian boot floppies requires to load enough stuff to
boot the linux kernel and read further floppies to be on the first floppy, more

For this to work it would be nessacery to modify the bootloader (iirc the
