For those who toiled over figuring out the fix, it dawned on me that older computers regular people used only had one CD-ROM drive. So, please apply the following:

1. Mount the install directory:
mount c {install_directory}
The name for "install_directory" cannot be longer than 8 letters or contain any spaces in the name. Just remove them. If it is, take the first 6 letters, then end it with ~1. For example:
Mount c c:\KyrandiaOne
--Becomes--
Mount c c:\Kyrand~1

2. Mount the source ISO.
imgmount d {ISO_path} -t cdrom
If the name of the ISO is longer than 6 letters, see step 1. If the location of the ISO has spaces, just remove them. Also, if any folder in the "ISO_path" is longer than 8 characters, replace it with ~1. For example
imgmount d c:\oldmsdosgames\kyrandiaone.iso -t cdrom
--becomes--
imgmount d c:\oldmsd~1\kyrand~1.iso -t cdrom

3. Go to drive d and run install.exe.

4. Select just plain old "sound blaster".

5. When back at the prompt, type hofcd. should be good to go.
