If that's so, then the Yast message "To make RPM packages located at the specified location available in the packages selection, continue." is REALLY misleading...

The "packages on local disk" is referring to a specific directory tree of data as if the CD had been copied to the local disk - not to a package or packages in a directory. YaST works with the RPM database as it is on the installed system, so using the "rpm -Fvh" as described by a prior post will allow the package(s) to be picked up in future YaST views of the software stack, as an example, for online update.
