What method are you using to install 5.3 (cd/dvd, NIM, tape, alt_disk?)
Is it a clean install, or are you upgrading an existing system?
Can you please use more vowels, it makes your question hard to read when it's in txt speak, there's no 140 character limit on these forums.

518 Remote mount of the root and /usr filesystems failed during network boot.

So it is not booting the CD or the CD is bad.

Check the bootlist and make sure it is the only thing in the boot list.

If you still get 518 try another CD.

Try to boot in maintenance mode and follow recovery procedure for 554 and change the boot list, make sure it has single bootdevice.
