The machines I am installing on do not have a motorized tray that can automatically pull the DVD back in when a mount command is issued. You have to push the disk in manually. As these machines will be unattended that is not idea.

But won't the systems then just boot from the install DVD?  Or are you 
overriding the BIOS boot order to start the install?
