There are no potato boot floppies yet. The simplest thing is probably
to burn the potato archive to CD, install slink on the machine and use
your potato archive to upgrade it.

Take a look at the slink CD production scripts to see how the split was
done for slink. Providing you have enough disk space on the target
machine, the simplest thing to do will probably be to just partition the
archive randomly and then assemble it onto the hard disk when you want
to upgrade.
If you want to help fix these problems, the boot floppies and CD teams
are the people to speak to.
