The kernel on that ISO is too old.
No matter what, you need network access since the 0.9.3 bits are 6 monthes old.
ie apt-get upgrade will replace everything anyway.

Steps Paul Bame uses goes something like:
o burn Debian boot floppies image on a CD (it's a lifimage).
o boot CD
o do a network install to get the rest of the bits.

The bits are too old and Debian 3.0 is about ready to release.
It's not worth chasing. I'm certain B2600 runs parisc-linux since
at least one parisc-linux developer has one.
