 Hmmm.... And you can comfirm that the scsi-card is CD bootable ?
And that you have choosen the right CD module, if any, from the Modules
2 disk ?

 If, however you still cant progress along these lines, and still have a
running system somewhere in your vicinity, then  I suggest using the
/etc/exports and NFS utilities to make the CDs or DVD mountable across
the LAN. 

 You could start, by exporting the SuSE 7.3 cds or dvd, then upgrading
to 8.0 the same way.

Cheers.
