Can be any directory, but if you want to use a CD you need to put
a .toc file along with the unpacked files. The inutoc command will
create it. Since CD is not writeable, smit cannot build it at run-time
so you need to pre-build it before burning.

If it's too late try using symlinks from /usr/sys/inst.images to the
/cdrom files
