I re-ran the install to get the messages in the v.console 2:
user.info dbootstrap[136]: write_boot_floppy: found floppy of size 1440

Some people have to use 'floppy=thinkpad' to work around an inverted

You can make bootable floppies by other means... For instance, I
recommend "Tom's bootdisk" (search for it, I don't have the URL).

apt-get source boot-flopp

even though the message on a virtual console is "dbootstrap: Make boot floppy
failed..."

I got Debian 2.2r3 "Espy" through CheapBytes.com and the install goes fine until I try
"Make Boot Floppy" screen. Then it formats the disk and gives the error message "
