First make some xfs partitions, then install debian on them.

Eh? Well, the first thing you need is a kernel with XFS support. Do you
have one? Does debian?

Thinking about emailing me? Only do so if it isn't apropriate for this
newsgroup. If it should have been in the group it will probably be ignored.

I can confirm that there *was* and Debian Woody XFS install CD available. I
have several copies and have installed various production machines with the
CD. I don't remember where I found it but if you can't find it, let me
know and I can have a look around. Note that this CD does *not* contain a
full mirror of the Debian archive. Most of the packages have to be
installed via the net.
