And if you could boot from the CD you also needed floppies with the correct device drivers to actually do the installation.

Yeah, I needed to do that even with XP because I had an early SATA computer.

Later I learnt you could customise the Windows CD, burn it yourself and include service packs, drivers etc. on it. That saved a lot of time (because back then, reinstalling every few months was a thing).
