Forgive the stupid question, but it could possibly save you lots
of time/trouble so I thought it is worth asking; are you sure you
can't just enable cdrom as a boot device in your bios? I recently
installed MEPIS from CD on a 200mhz Pentium Pro with the original
(1996? 1997?) BIOS. The CD-ROM device (which had long since died
and been replaced) wasn't enabled originally as a boot device, but
there was no problem enabling it.
But you've probably already checked that, in which case your first
reference looks like exactly what you need.

syslinux.cfg file to figure out what kernel parameters to use

in grub to include whatever kernel parameter is appropriate for
whichever installation method you'd like?
