A friend of mine came up with a good solution to this problem: If no bootable
CDROM drive is available, use a second hard drive with enough space to
accomodate a block-wise copy of the VMS installation CD (should be no more
than 500 MB, but i have not checked lately). Use a Unix system to copy the
VMS installation CD to this second HDD, then boot and install from that.
