Good news:
Your CPU, memory, and CGA video are working because you can see the bios post. Since this is the 1st time you started the computer, the bios wants you to at lease VISIT the bios settings so you can set the clock and visit all the screens to see all the components of your computer are working. I suspect the reboot is a timeout because you are not pressing TAB (this is unusual- you are sure it's not DEL?) soon enough. Go ahead and press the SETUP button, set the clock, visit the screens (don't touch anything you do not understand) and with the OS installation disk in your CD drive, SAVE and EXIT the bios. Your computer should detect the OS disk in the drive and start installing it.
If all the components of your computer are working, things should go smoothly after that.
