When I had this error, I discovered to my intense embarassment
that the CD I had put in there was CD #2 of the set, not
CD#1.

So the install program was looking for the stuff on the first
CD, and couldn't find it.  And told me so.  Took me ages to realise
it meant what it said, that it was saying not "I can't find
a CDROM" but "I can't find a *redhat* CDROM."
