It will work ok, I loaded Win2K yesterday, left CD in drive cos it's needed & boot option still set to CD first, the installation process handles it ok.
When mine boots from CD it normally asks if you want to boot from the CD or not, if you choose yes it starts the install again if you leave it alone it carrys on as normal.
So as I said when it reboots to continue the install leave it to boot normally do not choose to boot from the CD.
Obviously the CD stays in the drive as Windows will need the CD to install the files from (unless you copy to HD and run install from there) but I have known some people to get confused and keep choosing to boot from the CD as they think they have to for the install to complete. After about 4 or 5 reboots they often ask "why hasn't it installed yet? I tell it to boot from the CD"
