I just downloaded the root, boot and net-drivers floppy images from
www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer (cliking on others for i386 then
floppy), and tried them in vmware, and so far they worked perfectly.

Remember to write each one to a floppy with rawrite, or dd or the like,
and preferably test it as well (dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/null bs=18k) to
make sure it has no read errors.  Floppies are amazingly unreliable
after all.
