I already have the boot CD.  On the page at the link you provided, it says 
this near the bottom:

The first message will be Make sure that CD number 1 is in your computer. 
Press OK.
You then get notified that it could not find the CD and it will start the 
Manual Setup. Press OK.
You need to select the Language. Press OK.
Choose the keyboard map. Press OK.
You get the main menu. Select Start installation or System which is the 
default and press OK.
You get Start installation or Update and must choose either network (via 
FTP) or Hard Disc (local drive)
Via Network. Choose the machine where the data is and the directory.

Is there a public FTP or HTTP server the PC can go to look for the 
installation files??  For some reason, the PC can't find it by itself.
