John,

Are you upgrading from a CD?  If so there is a directory called install. 
Inside that you will find a utility called rawrite and images for a root disk
and a rescue(boot) disk.  Run, with a blank unmounted floppy in /dev/fd0
(1.44) "dd if=/rescue.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k"  do the same with a second
diskette and the root.bin file and you now have a set of Debian Boot/Root
floppies for 2.2.  Debian also copies these and several other images to your
disk during install.  I can't say where because I'm not running it currently.

If upgrading from an FTP site, you should also be able to find those images
out there.  

Hope this helps.

Randy
