This is where the Debian 8-floppy install starts to look really good.

A decent CD-ROM install ought to have a loadlin version; boot DOS or
windows, look at the CD, figure out where the bootable image and
initrd are, use loadlin to boot them, and pray that Red Hat got it
right and included a working version of the necessary PCMCIA drivers
to access your CD-ROM.  If you have a copy of loadlin on the CD-ROM,
the docs are probably nearby.  If you have it installed, they're
probably in /usr/doc/loadlin; there doesn't seem to be a man page for
loadlin.
