Installation CD on a Hard Drive?

Hello, I'm trying to install openSUSE on a ThinkPad without a CD-ROM drive. In order to do this I'd like to copy the contents of the installation CDs onto a USB hard drive and attempt the installation from there. I don't have any trouble putting the installation files on the hard drive, but how do I set the hard disk MBR to initiate the installation?
