[opensuse-autoinstall] Adding updates to SLES 11 SP1 CD-ROM

Background: I have a basic CD-ROM autoinstall working for SLES 11
SP1. Now I am trying to add updates.

I have followed the instructions here:

http://www.suse.com/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#b8

...to create a custom CD-ROM with a properly constructed "updates"
directory. But I am having trouble figuring out what to use for the
<media_url> in the <add-on> section of my autoinst.xml file.

I boot my CD with "autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml", and that correctly
finds the autoinst.xml file in the root of the CD. So I figured I
could just say:

<add-on>
...
<media_url>file:///updates</media_url>
...
</add-on>

That is, since "file:///autoinst.xml" refers to the autoinst.xml file
at the root of the CD, I was expecting "file:///updates" to refer to
the updates directory also at the root of the CD.

But when I try this, I get an error: "Failed to add add-on product."

So my question is, what URL should I use to reference an add-on
product on my CD-ROM? If "file:///updates" is supposed to work, how
should I go about debugging this?

Thanks!
