My experience comes from SCO UNIX/ODT, but I'm pretty sure the basic technique of installation from CD ROM is the same.
After mounting the CD ROM, you need to start a small program called start.sh: its purpose is to in part copy but mostly soft-link the entire CD ROM tree structure under the staging area directory (which is to be created in advance). Only then you may first install the orainst itself and then start it to install the rest.
