Честно говоря незнаком с Мандривой, но есть предположение что когда установщик запрашивает второй диск, возможно переключитсься на другую консоль (Alt+Fn или Ctrl+Alt+Fn) и подмонтировать образ диска в точку монтирования cdrom.

На первом диске обычно есть файл INSTALL, там вкратце написано, что нужно сделать чтобы установить систему с жесткого диска/по сети и т.д.

Боюсь, что как раз об этом там и не написано. Сами смотрите, если не верите.

ок, проверю в следующий раз

INSTALL.TXT:

Mandriva Linux

Installation Instructions - Mandriva Linux 2007

Required configuration
* Pentium processor or compatible
* CDROM drive
* At least 32 MB RAM, 64 MB recommended

Installing Mandriva Linux is, in most cases, as simple as putting
your Installation CD in your CDROM drive, and restarting your
machine. Please refer to point 1.

NOTE:

* If you upgrade from 7.x, 8.x or 9.x Mandriva Linux versions,
do not forget to backup your system.
* Upgrading from earlier versions (prior to 7.0) is NOT
supported. In that case, you need to do a fresh
installation and not an update.

============================================================================

Below are listed the different ways to install Mandriva Linux:

1. Boot directly from CD
2. Make a boot floppy with Windows
3. Other install methods

============================================================================

1. Boot directly from CD

The Installation CDROM is bootable. In most cases, just insert the CD
into the drive and reboot the machine. Follow the instructions
displayed on screen: press the [Enter] key to start the
installation, or press [F1] for additional help.

NOTE:

On some laptops (portable computers), the system may not be
able to boot from the CD. In such a case, you should prepare a
boot floppy. See point 2 for details.

============================================================================

2. Make a boot floppy with Windows

If your computer cannot boot from the CDROM, you must make a
boot floppy under Windows as follows:

* insert the CDROM, then open the icon
"My Computer", right click on the CDROM drive
icon and select "Open"
* go into the "dosutils" directory and
double-click on the "rawwritewin" icon
* insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive
* select "D:\images\cdrom.img" in the "Image
File" field (assuming that your CDROM drive is
"D:", otherwise replace "D:" as needed)
* select "A:" in the "Floppy Drive" field then
click on "Write".

To begin the installation:

* insert the CDROM in the drive, as well as the boot floppy, then
* restart the computer.

============================================================================

3. Other installation methods

If for any reason the previous methods do not fit your needs (you
want to perform a network install, an install from pcmcia devices
or*...), you will also need to make a boot floppy:

* Under Linux (or other modern UNIX systems) type at prompt:
$ dd if=xxxxx.img of=/dev/fd0
* Under Windows, follow the method described in point 2, but
using xxxxx.img (see below) instead of
cdrom.img.
* Under DOS, assuming your CD is drive D:, type:
D:\> dosutils\rawrite.exe -f install\images\xxxxx.img -d A

Here the list of boot images:

+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| cdrom.img | install from CD-ROM |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| hd_grub.img | install from hard-disk (from a Linux, |
| | Windows, or ReiserFS filesystem) |
| | you can configure it for your system at: |
| | http://qa.mandriva.com/hd_grub.cgi |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| network.img | install from ftp/nfs/http |
| | NOTE: you will need to insert network_drivers.img |
| | in your floppy drive when prompted |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| pcmcia.img | install from pcmcia devices (warning, most pcmcia |
| | network adapters are now directly supported |
| | from network.img) |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------+

You may also burn boot.iso on a CDROM and boot from it. It supports
all installations methods, cdrom, network, and hard-disk.

============================================================================

You can also use a text mode installation if, for any reason,
you have trouble with the default graphical installation. To use it,
press [F1] at Mandriva Linux welcome screen, then type
text at the prompt.

If you need to rescue your existing Mandriva Linux system,
insert your Installation CDROM (or any relevant boot floppy), press
[F1] at Mandriva Linux welcome screen, then type
rescue at the prompt.

See http://www.mandrivalinux.com/drakx/README
for more technical information.

============================================================================

Below are the main stages of installation:

1. Insert your Installation CDROM (or Installation Floppy disk if
necessary) and restart your machine.
2. Press [Enter] when the Mandriva Linux welcome screen
appears and carefully follow the instructions.
3. When the installation is complete take out the CD-ROM when
ejected (and any floppy disk if present in drive); your machine
will restart. If it does not, restart it manually.
4. Mandriva Linux will start. After bootup, you can login on your
machine under the user account setup during install, or as
"root".

Important note:

The "root" account will give you unrestricted
access to your Linux system. Do not use it except to configure or
administer Linux. For every day use, use a normal user account
which you can configure with the
"userdrake" tool, or with the commands
"adduser" and "passwd".

Good luck with Mandriva Linux!

Дальше поиск рулит :-)

Да что там написано - ещё ничего не решает.
Проблема собственно в том, что таким образом, как описано в инструкции, у меня устанавливались пакеты только с 1-ого CD-образа.
Короче, если кто уже ставил эту ОС с веника, то просьба сказать об этом.
