No, no... even though you have a CD-ROM with the stuff, you're not
installing from CD-ROM in the sense YaST means. I assume you loaded
from CD in the MP3000, and now that you have the network up you
take the CD to a Linux machine on your network, and then use the
install via FTP or NFS.

I think you could even use the AWSFBA emulated I/O driver to get
the .iso image of the CD into the S/390 partition as a 3370 type
device (at least that works for P/390). Unfortunately OS/2 does
not allow you to do it straight from the CD-ROM (and ASWFBA wants
it to be writeable if I recall correctly). If you only have the CD
you can use another Linux machine to make an iso image from it
with the 'dd' command. If you started off with a downloaded iso
image you can ftp that to the OS/2 disk and use it.
