+The etch d-i does not work any more for systems which boot from an USB floppy
+and do not have a bootable cdrom drive
+[http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/12/msg00078.html]. A number of Sony
+Vaio laptops fall into this category. Etch may be installed on these devices
+using PXE-on-a-disc [ftp://ftp.scyld.com/private/jlehan/pxe-on-a-disk.html]
+and TFTP netbooting
+[http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch04s06.html.en]. The system may
+be booted with the PXE floppy and gets the installation media from a TFTP
+server [http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/12/msg00372.html].
