Are you using any of the SPs or just SLES9 stock? 

I'm doing something similar in that we dhcp boot, but in the
pre-install, I read in config files and write out a
/tmp/profile/modified.xml file with new info in it for many things, like
network.

For net, I go from:

  <networking>
    <comment>NET_DEFAULTS</comment>
  </networking>

to values like:
  <networking>
    <dhcp_options>
      <dhclient_additional_options></dhclient_additional_options>
      <dhclient_client_id></dhclient_client_id>
      <dhclient_hostname_option>AUTO</dhclient_hostname_option>
    </dhcp_options>
    <dns>
      <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname>
      <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_resolv>
      <domain>qualcomm.com</domain>
      <hostname>$my_hostname</hostname>
      <nameservers config:type="list">
        <nameserver>$dns_server</nameserver>
      </nameservers>
    </dns>
    <interfaces config:type="list">
      <interface>
        <bootproto>static</bootproto>
	<device>$net_dev</device>
	<ipaddr>$my_ip</ipaddr>
	<netmask>$my_netmask</netmask>
        <startmode>auto</startmode>
        <usercontrol>no</usercontrol>
      </interface>
    </interfaces>
    <managed config:type="boolean">false</managed>
    <modules config:type="list">
      <module_entry>
        <device>static-0</device>
        <module></module>
        <options></options>
      </module_entry>
    </modules>
    <routing>
      <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward>
      <routes config:type="list">
        <route>
          <destination>default</destination>
          <device>-</device>
	  <gateway>$my_router</gateway>
          <netmask>-</netmask>
        </route>
      </routes>
    </routing>
  </networking>

The variables up there are obviously replaced by the right values by the
script (lines that are multiple like the $dns_server values are done in
a loop, I only included one in the sample), but that's the output I use 
and it works.  I based this on a clone file from a sles9-sp3 host.
