Yup, that Did it!
I added the "install" keyword to the info file, and now it is fine. The
documentation, however, says that if I use the "autoyast" keyword that the
"install" keyword is unnecessary. Oh well, I am just happy it works now. I
think "overjoyed" is more the word. Thanks Anas!

Where do you set the installation source? You info file does not have
it, do you have it on the command line?
I would say yast cant find the installation source and trying DHCP to
find it...
