This is something new in 9.1/SLES9. Add netsetup=0 to skip DHCP.
3. Advanced Network Setup
The netsetup keyword allows advanced network configurations and enables dialogs to setup the network where required.
netsetup=1
the normal network setup questions
netsetup=xxx,yyy
just xxx and yyy
netsetup=+xxx,-yyy
default, additionally xxx, but not yyy
xxx could have the following values: dhcp, hostip, gateway, netmask, nameserver. nameserverN asks for N nameservers (max. 4).
For example, the following can be entered on the command line:
netsetup=-dhcp,+nameserver3

No matter what I do to the info file, I still can't get linuxrc to not try to do dhcp on eth0. I look at console number 2 and I see that it has even configured eth0 with the right IP parameters, but it tries to do DHCP anyway. I am trying this with 9.1 now. Same behavior. What gives?

P.S. If you care, my info file looks like this:
insmod: 3c59x netdevice: eth0 DHCP: 0 HostIP: 192.168.1.5 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.1.1 server: 192.168.1.18 autoyast: nfs://192.168.1.18/opt/Linux/SUSE-9/profiles/test.xml
