No, you can boot off the first CD to do a disk install, but you must
have all the ISOs in a single directory and use the "askmethod"
parameter on the boot command line from the installer:
boot: linux askmethod
The alternative method is copy the boot image from the first CD to a
flash disk and boot that.
