You don't say what OS is currently installed, if you have a floppy,
network, USB...  If you have a GRUB bootloader this link may be useful:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg06108.html

Could also use a GRUB floppy to boot and manually enter locations of
vmlinux/initrd.img files from CD#1 isolinux/ copied onto the hard disk.
Some people have also reported success using images/diskboot.img from
CD#1 on a bootable USB memory stick.

Provide more details if you need more specific help.
