Recovering 5.0.7 from Bootable CD

I've been working with SCO Unix for several years now but have never had to restore a system from a bare drive.

I have a bootable CD that contains what appears to be the correct files necessary to recover the boot and root filesystems.

I've got the BIOS setup such that the CD is the first boot device.

When the CD boots I type

defbootstr Srom=wd(0,0,0,0) link=cha
and I get an error telling that the floppy drive doesn't contain any media.

What steps do I need to take to get the system restore to a bare scsi hard drive?

There should be three filesystems, a root, boot and a u.
Here's what the space allocations look like on the original.

/ : Disk space: 2645.39 MB of 3906.25 MB available (67.72%).
/stand : Disk space: 16.28 MB of 29.29 MB available (55.60%).
/u : Disk space: 56215.66 MB of 62413.10 MB available (90.07%).



Any help is appreciated...
I'm a quick learner, but know that some of this stuff is so far over my head that it's hard to understand sometimes without help.
