Can you elaborate a bit more on your problem? Can you not figure out how to mount the cdrom? can you not boot from the cdrom? be specific please.

well first you need to figure out what device your cdrom is... it kinda runs like this:
primary master == /dev/hda
primary slave == /dev/hdb
secondary master == /dev/hdc
secondary slave == /hdd

its most likely going to be the first partition in the drive so you would use /dev/hdx1
you also need a place to mount it to so mkdir a directory somewhere to mount it to
then mount it to that directory:
mount /dev/hdx1 /cd-rom
