When you boot from CD-ROM, you are loading LINUX kernel. CD-ROM looks like 2.88MB floppy disk from BIOS. That Linux can read CD-ROM. So read driver directly from CDROM uring booting. If this sounds too much, you can make FDs to boot system under DOS environment. Then you need DOS CDROM driver and DOS program rawrite.
