Even if it didn't, for example if you simply stuck in the DVD for i 7.3 and cranked up a "D" mode IPL, it would fail. After 'some minutes' you get a kind and gentle SRC code that when researched says: "Nothing here to run this machine with." And it's a hard stop.

Since it found nothing to run it will not have touched the existing disks and thus other than the loss of time, no harm no foul.
