If you can boot from a floppy and read, but not boot, from a CD,
here's the method that worked for me:
Download "Generic Linux Boot Floppy" from www.deesconsulting.com/glbf
and copy it to a floppy:
dd if=glbf-0.3.1-ide.img of=/dev/fd0
Then boot from this floppy, which will read the first installation CD
and transfer control to it. Proceed with a normal installation.
