All you need is to autoinstall=nfs://x.x.x.x/installsource/autoinst.xml on your install kernel command line.
autoyast=default will not pick up a file called autoinst.xml
Thanks for the answer. But always typing the complete ip and nfs path for each installtion is again annoying and error prone. In this case it would be easier to manually select the software selection in yast which after all was what I wanted to avoid. Is there no way to have autoyast search the file on the installation media (NFS dir in my case)?
If your machines can boot from floppy you could prepare a boot floppy with the commandline within the grub configuration on the floppy. Link to an image is on http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SLES9/autoinstall/index.html Similar setup is possible with network cards that support pxe boot. In both cases you need a TFTP server to load the install kernel and initrd, but it saves you typing the nfsserver etc. lines each time. To avoid typing the IP of the machine to be installed, you also need DHCP in both cases.
