cdrom won't mount with var. files

[rod holcomb]

I've got a copy of RH 8.0 but i  couldn't get it to boot. I didn't know if it was a bad burn or if 
I should pull one of my newer CD players out of a newer machine and try to see if that could boot.  
I could get the 8.0 disk 1 to mount (back befor last night).  If I can't get 8.0 to boot with the 
newer cd player can i still do an install by booting with a 7.0 floppy disk.  

What would the command be to start the installtion/upgrade ?
