I tried to install from a CDROM set (of 2).
I never did get to the install screen. I tried simply booting the
first CDROM and it gave out those three lines. Similarly when I
booted into my current system (4.3), mounted the first CDROM , and
then typed "/cdrom/stand/sysinstall".

Where did you get your install cd from??
If you burned a downloaded iso file, did you run md5 to
verify the checksum so you know its good?
