You should also be able to attach an external SCSI CD drive using a device
like the Trantor T-348, which is a parallel port -to- SCSI adapter built
into a cable. I've used one many times to load OS onto some weird old
machine that lacked any other (easy) options.
There are both DOS and Linux drivers for the Trantor adapters.

However, my recollection of Warp is that you need two floppies available
for the
"kicker" loader. Given that PS/2 floppy drives seem to have an
unfortunate propensity toward death, you might want to check those out
first. It is possible, IIRC, at least on some of the models to substitute
a commodity DSHD 3.5" drive with a few small modifications.
Luckily, the floppy drives on this machine still seem to be fine.
