Here's what I get from what you are telling me. First of all, if linux mounts a drive, 
in 
this case your cdrom.. then it will not allow you access to the cdrom until it is 
unmounted. 
Ty making a boot floppy.
Go into the dosutils directory and run the windows version of rawrite. then where it 
says image source.. select /mandrake/images/boot.img. When you boot off of the 
disk.. 
Let me know if  you get confused.. it's just that it's possible there's a bug in the 
cdrom installer.. and the bootdisk one may work.. It's the same graphical install.
