When you download the SBM floppy, all you have is an image. That image needs to be written to a floppy diskette, sector by sector. It will not work to simply copy the image file to the floppy using a file manager. (Just like copying an ISO file to a CD doesn't actually give you the CD represented by the ISO image). There is a special procedure for getting image files written to CD or floppy media.
If you have access to a linux machine, it's a simple matter of typing:
dd if=sbm.img of=/dev/fd0
on the commandline (that is, if sbm.img were the name of the image file that you downloaded). It's the same process to make the floppy using an OS/X machine, but probably a different device name. If you need to create the floppy using Windows, you will need to install whatever special tool was recommended by the site I posted, then use that tool to put the image on the floppy.
Once the floppy is created correctly, you can boot it, and you will be presented with a menu of options enabling you to boot the CDROM drive from there.
