The TP760EL has only one EIDE controller, and the CD drive is the second (slave) device. I must admit I installed Linux via NFS (not having the CD drive yet when installing) so cannot help further. I'd try NFS first before installing off the HD. Since Debian has a normal Linux boot floppy, try using this instead of loadlin. YMMV... I have no idea how the Debian install kernel is configured.
