Went to install it a few days ago and quickly pressed the off switch as I felt a bit out of me depth.

I really don't have a lot of experience with debian, but I would assume that you could just partiton hdb and install it there. I'm shure there are som people on this board that could elaborate on this

it is perfectly possible
when you cfdisk your hard drive, make sure you do hdb and the rest of the install should be a breeze.
I *think* you would install lilo to /dev/hda , but im not 100% sure.
