Okay, first off... this message is VERY misleading. What this really means

You can pull the entire archive on to a straight MSDOS partition. That's
why we provide an MSDOS area on the FTP system. After you get the system
running, install dpkg-1.4.x.x.deb by hand, and then run
"dpkg-scanpackages" on all of those packages. You can then use dselect
to select and install them

The simplest way I can think of is to use SLIP or PPP. It would be just

Given that you have 16550A-compatible serial interfaces (or something
else with a deep serial buffer), you should be able to go 115,200 bits
per second over serial lines from one Linux to another. Get a "Laplink"
