Moving from Debian to RH Enterprise WS

On a "mature" HP Vectra dual P90 box with SCSI disk subsystem, I would
like to move to RH Enterprise WS. I am fairly newbie at this, and the
person who installed Debian on it found it challenging because the CDROM is
SCSI, as are the 2 internal HD. And it doesnt know how to boot from the CD.
Currently, it boots OK from the 1st HD. It is a basic install, and the
box can be reformatted, no data on it. I can access the network from it,
including a machine on which I am running ftp server and have copied the
RedHat directory and release notes from the 4 CDs I downloaded. I
installed another more modern machine from these CDs and they work.
So how do I start an FTP install, where I want to basically reformat
this whole machine and just have RH running on it? For reference, here is
my dmesg from the machine in question:
