Hmm, either you or I am confused :-)

If you go to /usr/ports and do "ls -al", do you see a huge amount
of files or only . and .. ?

If the first, then go to /usr/ports/shells/bash2 (directory-name
may be different) and type "make install" there. You don't need a
cdrom.

If the second, mount the cdrom, go to /mnt/cdrom/ports and run
./install.sh there, it will create the initial ports-directory
layout and you can then install it via the first option described
here.
