i'd suggest against this. there will be a reboot during installation 
(upto opensuse 10.2 after the first cd, from that at the end, if i am 
not mistaken) - and you'll land in an endless loop unless you manually 
choose hdd entry at the reboot.
also, could be nasty to leave this cd in the tray accidentally...

well, check server logs to verify what is requested and not found;
how did you create the installation source ? is it correct ?
check that you can access autoinstall profile from the machine manually
