CentOS 5.8

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.8 on a box. I'm connecting the ISO to the server via a virtual disk using HP ILO.

It initially seems to boot fine but in the middle of the anaconda text-mode package installation, it gives the following error:

CD Not Found

CentOS CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives.  Please insert the CentOS CD and press OK to retry.

If I click OK, it gives me the same error. I don't understand how it could get this far and then complain about the CD-ROM drive.

Any thoughts?
