No, an LPAR has "local disks."  Sometimes far too many of them to choose from, 
which can cause its own headaches.  No graphical console, only a serial 
console, however.  I'm sure there are other analogies, but the basic point is 
that without a working connection to a network installation server, you're dead 
in the water, period.
