The user manual tells how to build a boot floppy from the CD. Then you boot with the floppy and it installs from the CD.

Ver. 3.x supports only booting from cdrom.(p.18)

Ver. 2.x supports both booting from floppy and from cdrom.

Ah....

Haven't done 3.2 yet.

So, install 2.x via floppy, then upgrade to 3.2. Perhaps.

To enable booting from a CDROM even if the system does not allow cd boot, go to this site and download the software and install to a floppy and you will be able to boot any cd.
