If you can mount the CD before booting from it, you will find a
directory dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/reiserfs with all the
images you need.  I suppose you can use them to make boot stiffies and
later use the CD's to install the rest of the system from.  Just read
the documentation in the "current" directory.
