1) you must not mount the CD if you want to use it from
/stand/sysinstall
2) if you see only 4.3-install.iso listed after
# mount /cdrom && ls -l /cdrom
you won't be able to use the cd (the normal way). this is
what I get with a 4.3 cd, and what _you_ should get (your
favorite cd burning sortware should include instructions 
on burning cds from ISO images):

[root@freepuppy root]# mount /cdrom
[root@freepuppy root]# ls -l /cdrom
