It is true that there is no kickstart boot floppy, but related issues
and methods of booting can be found frequently in the list archives.
Here's one possibility...

This technique allows you to use GRUB to boot the installer from the
local disk.  Can then do network (FTP, NFS, ...) or hard disk install
from ISO images.

OTOH, may want to explore BIOS options and device configuration/ordering
(should be able to boot fr0m a correctly configured CD-ROM drive unless
it is a VERY old machine), correct CD burning (burn the image, not the
file containing the image; good media; slower burn speed; ...) before
giving up on CD install.  All these issues are also frequent topics in
the list archives.
