Two things may be happening.  

First do you have the cdrom selected as a boot device?  You have to set
that in your machines setup options.  Normally hitting the delete key
during boot up or F8 will get you into the setup screens where you can
select the cdrom as a boot device.

The other thing that I think is really the issue is that you have
downloaded and burned the iso for the source CDs.  Hence the SRPMS
folder you see on the disk.  Check the mirror where you got the iso's
from and you should see there are 8 listed.  4 of them is the
installable distribution and the others are the sources for everything.

You will need to download the correct iso and burn it.  Then you should
be able to boot and install FC.

The good news is that you burned the ISO correctly.  :)
