installing squeeze from hard disk ... CD-ROM module?



Hi. I am attempting to install 6.0.6 from hard disk, following the instructions given :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
&
http://www.linuxforu.com/2009/03/install-linux-straight-from-an-iso/
As I have a well out of date version of Ubuntu from which I'm installing I followed the instructions from the former verbatim, excepting, obviously, .iso filenames and kernel/RAM paths. CD 1 on 2GB /dev/sda1 partition; sda2 for the system to be installed upon; sda3 for /home. Loads on reboot.
The problem I'm having is that CD-ROM module and device. Tried replacing "/cdrom (I'm sure that's not it, but whatever the default IS) with /dev/sda1 to no avail.
