I would still say: it's possible.

But you'll have to build first a new set of boot diskettes with a
generic kernel including the CD-ROM driver.
Second you have to change the scripts of the installation shell, with
the network setup as a template.

The boot diskettes will be limited to a *fixed* SCSI ID of the CD-ROM on
the primary IBM SCSI controller, or you'll have to build a new boot
diskette set :-(

So why hassle around? Network setup is easy. All you need is another box
sharing a directory via NFS.
