Carl,
Thanks for the additional info. I suspected that only CD1 has a unique boot image and the others are essentially package installs and for updates. However, I did try CD2 in case it was looking for that.... but no cigar as you have explained. I am typically install and configure Oracle software on various platforms, but I am interested in learning more about SUSE since I am hoping to position myself as a SUSE advocate in the corporation -- currently the entity seems to think Red Hat is the only real linux system.
FYI, JB

It will not boot to CD2 but I opened that CD up on another platform and
it is fine.

Hi John,

The boot image on CD2 is an alternate format designed to work with certain odd 
or older proprietary CD-ROM drives that will not boot from the normal image 
on CD1. The details of the differences between the two formats escapes me at 
the moment because I tend to only retain the important stuff. You can Google 
for it if you're inquisitive, but the bottom line is you're able to boot CD1 
so the image on CD2 is irrelevant.

regards,

- Carl
