Sort of. Burn the mini iso (or the first cd), loop-mount the currently
wanted iso image to /mnt, point the installer there, wait until it
wants the next disk, loop-unmount it, loop-mount the next iso image
to /mnt, continue...

At least that's the way I installed RC1 on my machine.

To make it "less interactive", you could do

  for i in 1 2 3 4 5
  do
    mkdir /mnt/CD$i
    mount -oloop -rtiso9660 SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-RC1-CD$i.iso /mnt/CD$i
  done

and give ".../CD1" as installation source.
This way, the "change media" interaction is not needed. YaST will by itself try to find all CDn directories if "/CD1" is the end of the given path.

But anyways: this is not "install from harddisk" because you need an external server.

Doing this within the system lacks the first step: you can't switch with F2 to a parallel text console (where you could do the mounts locally before installation) before you have accessed CD1...
Maybe it can work if you use a "real" CD1 instead of boot.iso.

Cheers -e
