(Q1)
My harddisk is empty and not formatted, could I boot from CDROM and install it?

(Q2) 
Sorry, I don't know what "sdD0!cdboot!9pccd.gz" mean?
Does "sdD0" mean second master IDE? and sdC0? and others IDE device?
What "cdboot" mean here?

(Q3)
Another question: I search my cdrom, there is a file name 9pccd.gz. But I found file 9pc.gz, 9pcdisk.gz and 9pccpu.gz, which should I use?
these file locate in directory 386. Should add directory name in boot command line like "sdD0!cdboot!/386/9pccd.gz"?

(Q4)
Where are these documents about install and hardware setting?

Thank you!
