Unfortunately, not.  The driver for the Matsushita CDROM went in after
2.0.  It's actually in 2.0.5R.  However, it's not possible to use a
2.0.5 boot disk and install from a 2.0 CD.

You can however move the files to a DOS partition and install from
there.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
