Read the man page. What you are suggesting is not how it works.

Actually what you said was:

so did you do (are you doing) a netinstall, or an install from DVD?
Isn't DVD1 a bootable iso and, along with DVD2, a comprehensive
package set? I.e., if you have DVD1 (and ideally 2) why would you do
a netinstall?
The Centos-7 netinstall iso at least does give an option for using a
cd/dvd based iso as the package source, but the default is one of a
range of network based options.
