Hi Rob,
I left the CD in the MP3000 (or SE or IOSP if you prefer) from where I
used the "Load from CD-ROM or Server" icon of the SE to IPL the
Installation Linux of the CD. Linux is now started and the two disk drives
have been formatted. YAST has also been started, the language has been
selected and the "Installation from CD-ROM" has just been selected and now
YAST is asking me to chose a type of CD-ROM from a list that is displayed
on my Telnet (login to root) session from a PC on the LAN. The problem is
that, no matter which type of CD I choose, none is accepted and so cannot
continue with the installation.
Thanks very much for the answer you already gave me.
All my best regards.

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.
