The only changes I made to the original file were the following additions on the append lines for "linux" and "failsafe":

that can't work. It's: "autoyast=nfs://192.168.3.230/install/dellrackmount.xml" install=... must point to the installation source in your network. For example: install=nfs://192.168.3.230/install_src_sl10 For automatic installations over the network you need the "install=..." and the "autoyast=..." parameter.
1. When the system first boots into the screen giving me the option to boot from "harddisk", "linux", "noacpi", "failsafe" etc... I get a warning that says:
Unknown keyboard in config file. Missing parameter in config file.
you can ignore that but maybe it helps if you remove the "implicit 1" and the "notice 6" line.
Nevertheless, I still have the option of chosing an option, so I type "linux" and hit return.
It then boots up, and after a minute or two, a read box appears on screen stating:
Could not find the Suse Linux Installation Source. Activating manual setup program.
that's because the install=... line is wrong. The installation source can't be found. Change the install=... line, so that it points to your installation source and add the "autoyast=nfs://192.168.3.230/install/dellrackmount.xml" line. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
