Maybe.  If so, then he neglected to read the following (from the
INSTALL file):

3.  If your system doesn't automagically start the installer, mount
     the CDROM (e.g. "mount -o exec -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom").
     Mounting it with the -o flag set is important for Gentoo and
     Debian; it allows executables to be run off the CD.

This tip is also in the wiki:
