The FTP configuration doesn't refer to the OSAs. It's referring to some CD/DVD-capable machine with an FTP server on it. Look at Appendix E (Installing Software from a Mass Storage Device) in the HMC Version 2.9 book (available from ResourceLink). I don't know why the CD-ROM would be greyed out on the "Load from...." menu.
