You can download two floppies (kern.flp & mfsroot.flp) from FTP site
where you got the ISOs, or get them off the CD if you can mount that.
Burn to floppies like this (as root):
dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
dd if=mfsroot.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
Boot kern.flop and follow instructions, eventually telling it to
get distributions from CD/DVD.
You probably ought to first try this to test your burning of the
CD a bit (use acd0 or cd0):
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
cd /mnt
