Package: debian-installer
Version: 20040801 (powerpc-small)
I downloaded
ftp://ftp.no.debian.org/linux/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-
powerpc/current/images/powerpc-small/floppy/
for installation on an old prep box. current is a symlink to 20040801
That image is larger than 1.44MB, and does not fit on a standard
1.44MB floppy. This means it's impossible to install sarge on at least
my IBM 7248-133, without the installer*, as there are no
working split-ramdisk patch for 2.4.
Is it possible to reduce the floppy by some 40Kb?

*) I hacked the installer by drastically reducing the size of
netcfg.templates, removing anything but en_US, making the image some
kb below the magic marker. The installer worked quit smoothly even on
this quite archaic hardware. Thanks for the great work.
Ingvar,
Glad you got it working for you. Could you please try out
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/floppy-2.4/
and let us know how it works for you?
Thanks!
Rick
