As you are booting to floppy, I conjecture this is an older machine
incapable of booting to CD-ROM. Many older machines which are fine
with pressed CDs have problems with CD-RW and even burned CD-R. You
might look at a network install instead. With three CD-ROMs, you may
find the network installation preferable to swapping CD-ROMs in and
out.

See http://www.charlescurley.com/yum.html for some ideas on how to do
it.
