Installing Debian on a machine without Ethernet, USB Drive or a CD-ROM

A Friend of mine asked me to format and install Debian on is laptop. It is Compaq Evo n600c. When there was still Windows XP installed on the machine, I downloaded the Debian Installer (lazy) EXE and ran it. Afterwards, in the setup process, in the Base System Installation there were some problems. It suggested to run this step again, so I did that.

When I boot up the computer, it reads:

Waiting for root file system ... done.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args
  - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
  - Check root= (ded the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (car /proc/modules; ls dev)
ALERT! /dev/block/8:33 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
modprobe: module ehci-hcd not found in modules.dep.
modprobe: module uhci-hcd not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module ohci-hcd not found in modules.dep

BusyBox v1.20.2 (Debian 1:14.20.0-7) built in shell (ash)

/proc/cmdline

auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=821

/proc/modules

sd_mod 25425 0 - Live 0xe081a000
crc_t20dif 12332 1 sd_mod, Live 0xe07f6000
ata_generik 12436 0 - Live 0xe07e7000

...and more, such as thermal, thermal system etc.

I tried to check with all of the common problems suggested, but as the message reads, the problems is that some modules are missing (checked the folders, not there). BUT! The real problem instead of just "formatting it and there you go" is that boot through Ethernet won't work (I finally got the server running, but Boot Agent is blind and won't see it). Also, there is no such option as "boot from USB flash", there are only "Boot from MultiBay", "Boot from Hard Drive" and "Boot over Ethernet". The hard drive does not have any other OS on it, so switching to it and re-installing is not an option.

I seek and try to think of a way to maybe skip without these modules and then update and upgrade the system so it runs normally. The system specs are LILO 27 boot loader (except the primitive (sorry) Compaq boot loader, that can't read USB Flash Drives, thumb drives or whatever.) Debian and BusyBox version can be seen in the first console log.

I played around with the initramfs.conf and the overriding config file, the output was not different.
