I guess that you'll need to have the cd-rom in,
when loading the drivers (from the disc....)
You should be able to do this:

Boot from the diskette.
Transfer the system to your Hd, by writing
sys c:

afterwards, copy your relevant or just all files from your diskette
to your harddisc.

Now you should be able to plug in the cd-rom drive,
and then boot from the harddisc, so your system will find the cd-rom drive.
