"boot ide" doesn't use a filesystem at all. I suspect that what you
really want is "boot vfat", which uses a VFAT filesystem. The disk can
(indeed, probably should) have a partition table.
Bootldr can't read ext2, so you would need to create a special /boot
partition as VFAT. Other than that, and the normal drama relating to
having the root partition on a PCMCIA device, it should boot Debian just
fine.
