Yes, in fact, we do.  I was part of the InfoServer project from just after V1.0 shipped until it was discontinued.  I'm also the implementor of a large part of the InfoSever as a VMS software application and I claim to be the Executive Vice President of InfoServer Engineering at VSI.

The InfoServer does not run VMS.  The InfoServer partition system is not a commonly recognizable file system.

You will need to make an image copy of the InfoServer software to CD -- in other words the bits need to be in the same logical location on the CD as they are in the file. The InfoServer should then boot from the resulting disk and install itself. You've already been given a lot of feedback on how to get such an image CD created.  

The function key disks have no file system at all - they're just data.

I confess, I've forgotten a lot of the details -- I've used only the VMS application for years
