Did you manage to install the base system already?
Did you use a floppy for that?
Does dselect start normally?
If the base system is there and it starts normally and you have a more or
less standard debian cd-rom, please try to start dselect (while as root or
su) and follow the instructions.
You need to find out your cdrom connection. It should be something like
/dev/hdx, where x is for example d as in my case.
You can mount cdrom before running dselect, but that is not necessary.
If you use dpkg -i -command to install dpkg packages you need to mount
cdrom beforehand. I do that for example this way:
mount /dev/hdd /mnt
Did you remember to use dselect and/or mount command as root?
