First use a different directory as /var/lib/Yast will be used by YaST2
ie the eay I do it is via rsync every night I am updating
/usr/local/update/i386/update/8.0 directory.

When using YaST2 online Update module select expert and then choose
harddisk and enter the path as follows

/usr/local/update ( YaST2 will find the remaining parts depending on
your SuSE version) and then you will be able to apply the pathces via
harddisk. If you want to make a  Patch CD the important point is use of
"graft-points" option of mkisofs for example 

-graft-points i386/update/8.0=/usr/local/update/i386/update/8.0

This way you can use the CD as a patch CD and YaST2 will happly accept
it.
