jump starting linux install

I got some old machines that need OS reinstalls (centos 3.3)

they do not have cdroms, but i have a external usb cdrom, the bios is so old, it doesnt have an option to boot to usb cdrom

question: after system is at command prompt, i can mount cdrom

what is the easiest way and procedure to jumpstart the linux install if it doesnt boot to cd

step by step instructions greatly appreicated
