I have a 486DX100 with 8 Mb of RAM,

it in another machine to perform the install will this work? And if it does

Since it's Debian, you don't need to stick it

You could also pull out the cdrom from a machine and plug it in
temporarily...some 486's don't like cdroms though.

As already mentioned, base install from floppy would be an option as
would NFS install from another system, and then just follow the
hardening procedures to disable / remove the NFS packages.
Either of these would be easier than moving around a hard drive in two
different machines.

You may need to use different modules for the different hardware...but yes. It
will work.

Since it's Debian, you don't need to stick it in a separate machine.
