I have tested this, and it does point to the installation server.
I've just noticed that all the variables can be seen during the autoyast install on console 10 (Alt+F10).
Useful things there:
Textmode Netdevice IP Netmask Gateway Nameserver Server Serverdir LANG VNC UseSSH
amongst others. They are all available to chroot scripts. Not sure about postinstall or preinstall scripts though.
Additionally, you can find all the variables you've set at the kernel command line. This is very useful in case you need what you call the "control source", i.e., the place where all the profiles, scripts etc. are stored. If you have set sth. like "autoyast=nfs://<server>/<directory>/" in e.g. pxelinux.cfg, you can grab that in the chroot script, too, and mount the control source manually. I used this some time ago when a bug in autoyast tried to mount the control source over the install system when fetching chroot scripts via NFS... cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
