Actually, it is an INITial Ram Disk.  It is like a boot iso, but it
isn't exactly.

If you remove it, your system will not work, unless you change your
kernel from the default SUSE kernel.  To make changes, just make changes
in the modules line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and rerun mkinitrd, or if
you are changing something else involved, like adding a custom kernel,
you would run mkinitrd with arguments.  I believe mkinitrd --help will
give you those.
