Hi there Angus
There is no need to make a floppy if your going to boot from the cd. You
will need to delete that second partition and make it in to at least two.
One for swap and one for the root file system. If you wanted to make more
filesystems out of the rest of the space you could do so. If you would
like any help you can contact me by phone. To get started just pop the cd
in the drive and when the debian install prompt comes up just type.
