You have some redundancy, and a couple of mistakes. Try:

install: nfs://169.10.63.215/instserv/9.0_x64
hostip: 169.10.248.36
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 169.10.248.1
nameserver: 169.10.8.4
autoyast: floppy://control.xml

I think "ip:" might be deprecated. Try "HostIP:" as above.
autoyast: floppy://file.xml needs to point to the actual path and name for the control file.
