I booted Debian for AMD64 from a USB memory stick the last time I
built a system.  I hadn't bought a floppy drive for the machine, and
burning little CDs seemed much more trouble than it was worth.

Tossing the initial image onto a USB stick worked out fine, getting me
as far as getting the network working, at which point it could
bootstrap off a Debian mirror...
