Sure, On a separate machine setup an ftp server, create a directories named 4.9-RELEASE and 5.2-RELEASE right where you will be placed when connecting with ftp. Then mount the iso image as follows (4.x syntax): vnconfig -e /dev/vn0 4.9-image.iso vnconfig -e /dev/vn1 5.2-image.iso mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/vn0 4.9-RELEASE mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/vn1 5.2-RELEASE Now you can boot from a floppy and select ftp for the installation.
