It's actually simpler - you don't have to create any CDx directories. Just mount the iso file somewhere with path ending in DVD1 and use that as your installation source. I used: /apps/installroot/SLES10/DVD1
So mount -t iso9660 -oloop SLES-10-SP2-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso /apps/installroot/SLES10/DVD1 Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Go to http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=A-zpMLVoXGg~ and download the DVD .iso file. You only need DVD1 unless you also want all the source RPMs (which most people don't).
