Debian DVD autostart from boot DOS prompt

Once I boot up with a floppy and get to a DOS prompt, what file or
command do I use from the command prompt to get the Debian DVD (number one)
to start installing on this computer???

These are the files on the DVD:
Root directory:
Folders:
Debian
Dists
Doc
Install
Isolinux
Pics
Pool
Tools
Files Size
Autorun.bat 60B - attempts to load
"README.html"... results in an error because you can't run an html from a
DOS prompt
Autorun.inf 29B - will not start
Md5sum.txt 679.9KB - will not start
README.html 10.8KB - will not start
README.mirrors.html 70.8KB - will not start
README.mirrors.txt 38.9KB - will not start
README.txt 5.8KB - will not
start
In the install folder:
Folders:
2.6
Floppy
Files Size
Initrd.qz 2.8MB - will not
start
README.sbm 1.8KB - will not
start
Sbm.bin 1.4MB - will not start
Vmlinuz 797.1KB - will not start
In the floppy folder:
Folders Size
Access
Files
Boot.img 1.4MB - will not
start
cd-drivers.img 1.4MB - will not start
net-drivers.img 1.4MB - will not start
root.img 1.4MB - will not
start

I certainly cannot put all that information onto a single floppy...
do I just copy the images from the floppy directory and paste them onto
several floppies... or what???
I would appreciate any help that I can get...
NOTE:
All folder and file names are lower case letters, MS Office
autocorrected them to uppercase for me...
Most sincerely,
Dan
