No joy, as of course anon ftp does a chroot to /usr/ftp and then /cdrom no longer exists. Ho hum. Tell install to use my name and password, but it does not appear to work. Is it supposed to? I wasted lots of time juggling things around before I realized this, then went back to anon FTP after having mounted the cd on /usr/pub/cdrom and done a lndir ../../../cdrom/dists . and voila! everything worked.
