You can, will and MUST!

I believe the CD should be bootable, but if it does not then resort to
floppies. Lookup kernflp and mfsroot.flp in /floppies and use a program under
/tools to transfer. If you have unix around then dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0
bs=32k may work for you.

No. An iso is an iso is an iso.
