What you can do is take that drive you need Lin on, and put it in the
existing system as hda. Then boot with floppy, and remount your partitions
according to the new setup. Install debian on /dev/hda1, run LILO on it,
take the drive out and put it into the floppyless system. It should then
boot ok. And return your existing system to the proper state by putting
disks back where they belong, and running LILO again.
