installp won't work with NFS mounted multi-volume CDs. It's OK if
everything is on one disc, otherwise you need to mount them locally - which
is not possible on a normal SP2 node - or download everything to a
filesystem and NFS mount that.
Be sure to use (smitty) bffcreate, not simply copy everything off the CDs.
There are packaging PTFs which you don't want, and their presence may
interfere with things. bffcreate won't copy them.
