Your CD contains a DOS program, which is able to create installation diskettes. It is somewhere in the root directory and it is call instcd.exe or so. Sorry, I am writing from my work, where I haven't OS/2, so that I cannot check the name of the program.
Therefore:

1. Find a machine, which is running DOS or which is able to run DOS window. Naturally, you can run DOS on your machine from a diskette but you must have installed the CD driver in your DOS.
2. Prepare 3 empty diskettes. The diskettes will be formatted during creating the installation diskettes by the program.
3. Run instcd.exe (or what is it named) and follow the instructions. You will get new installation diskettes.

But this is not all most likely. If I uderstand well, you have HD with more than 8.4GB. If it is the case, you will need to patch the installation diskettes with drivers for large HDs. Download Daniela Engberts drivers from Hobbes (files with names danixxxx.zip) and replace ibm1s506.sys, os2dasd.dmd and os2cdrom.sys (I hope I haven't misspelled the names too much Anyway, the zips contain readme files) on your new installation diskettes with the downloaded files. That's because the original drivers in your warp do not support large HDs.
