Yes, I know. However FreeSBIE mounts its bootable CD as root directory
(/) and then creates few RAM drives for /etc /usr etc. But I need the
CD-ROM drive to read the CDs with backup files...

It is a desktop PC with one hard-drive, one dvd-drive and I do not have
other computers to restore via network.

Is there other way round?
