On SLES 10, the individual CDs just go into separate directories, unlike with SLES 9 that required a special install structure.

so if you have:

./installroot/
./installroot/cd1/
./installroot/cd2/
./installroot/cd3/
./installroot/cd4/

you would set the kernel command line parameter to "autoyast=..../installroot/cd1"

and it should work fine
