If i understand this all corectly you need to make bootdisk from the
cdroms, they are located in the following directorys.
bootdsks.144/net.i
rootdsks/color.gz
and possably
network.dsk
Read the file README.TXT in one of the above directorys, it tells you how
to create the disks with a DOS system.
All you need to know is in the README files and README7.TXT in the base dir
of the cdrom.
