    Yes, this is possible. You have to use the old YaST for installation.
    You can boot the tftp image and do a normal installation, where the
    source is the local, second disk. Or, if you can boot from this disk,
    you can boot the Classic from this disk and make an installation
    from disk into a directory. I use this on my Server for diskless
    Client installations.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
