Why do not you try netinstall CD available: http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/testing/ (it is small about 70Mb) Or the last Debian Woody 3.0 just release (see www.debian.org where to download) (but bigger size) Normaly I test netinstall CD (with a more recent kernel) and it boot well with on the graphical screen of my b180.
