If you mean the HMC DVD (or, in recent model HMCs and virtual HMCs/HMAs, a USB-attached flash drive), the z/OS Customized Offerings Driver can IPL from that disc or flash drive. The z/OS COD includes at least the functional equivalent of the DFSMSdss Stand-Alone Services if that's what you mean. In the IBM-MAIN archives there are prior z/OS COD discussions.
