Login to DragonFly via SSH then run /usr/local/bin/installer.  Atleast 
this was the method a few versions ago.

In terms of the web installer, you would need a web server installed on 
the ISO that you downloaded.  If the binary is not in place then it will 
be impossible to start the webserver.  We used to include thttpd but 
these days I would much prefer to include lighttpd as its bsd licensed 
and kicks butt.
