Yes and no. That is one of the ways to _start_ the install. But you will still need a network installation server to provide access to the installation media once the network is up. This is because only IBM knows how to access the DVD in the HMC from an operating system running in an LPAR. An open source method to do that is currently going through IBM Legal, but it's not available yet. So, since you need to have a working network from the HMC to an installation server, you could just as well use the "boot from remote FTP server" option on the HMC to kick things off. Either way will work. Some sites just have more restricted access to the raised floor.
