The ISO-9660 Image that you downloaded is meant to be "burned" to a
CD with a CD-R(ecordable) Drive.   That CD is then used as
Installation media.  I did not see a CD-R listed in your hardware
list, and you said "it" would not find your CD-ROM, so I am assuming
you have not done this.  Without more information, or a clearer idea
of what your tried, any other advice would be speculative.  (i.e. Did
you burn the CD an boot to it and sysinstall did find your CD drive?)

I have a feeling I may have missed this one entirely. :)
