Floppy is not correctly supported.

You should be able to network boot them without much trouble.  See
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PA-RISC-Linux-Boot-HOWTO/> for pointers.  You
can start a debian install by booting a lifimage from:
<http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-hppa/3.0.22-2002-04-03/lifimage>
