Check the manual... The exclamation mark means something I guess, like take me first or do not boot from.
To boot from the CD is the most proper way to do the install.
Other ways would also work though. Boot from your floppy. Insert the CD. Navigate to the dir named /i386. In there run the file winnt.exe and the install procedure will run. (I hope I recall the dir name correctly here, I'm at work and don't have any XP-cd here.)
Before trying this try to get the little file smrtdrv.exe and put it on your bootfloppy. Then run smartdrive before entering the xp-setup. This will increase the speed of the file-copy process (yes, it's worthwile). And of course check that you have any special drivers at hand.
