Ah. With Matt's reply I assumed that it wasn't so. It should'e be hard 
for anyone contemplating a network isntall to export /media/cdrom/debian 
or /var/autofs/misc/debian as an Apache vhost: I prefer the latter as it 
can be made to automount the latest ISO as in this example:

ppc1            -fstype=iso9660,ro,nodev,nosuid,noexec,loop 
:/var/ftp/pub/linux/debian-cd/debian-30r1-powerpc-binary-1.iso
