Anyone have a link to docs or an explanation of what I need to do to deploy SP3 onto an existing install server layout, assuming I need to do this by hand, and cannot use YaST2 (since the server is a different platform altogether)?

here is the layout of a SLES9 installation server with service pack. If you recreate that by hand, it should work. You can leave out the ARCHIVES.gz, INDEX.gz and ls-lR.gz you can see in the tree. For all I known, they are not important on that level. The yast directory with it's two files is very important:

tree -L 2 . |-- boot -> sles9-i386/CD1/boot |-- content -> sles9-i386/CD1/content |-- control.xml -> sles9-i386/CD1/control.xml |-- core9-i386 | |-- ARCHIVES.gz | |-- CD1 | |-- CD2 | |-- CD3 | |-- CD4 | |-- CD5 | |-- INDEX.gz | `-- ls-lR.gz |-- driverupdate -> sles9-sp-i386/CD1/driverupdate |-- media.1 -> sles9-i386/CD1/media.1 |-- sles9-i386 | |-- ARCHIVES.gz | |-- CD1 | |-- INDEX.gz | `-- ls-lR.gz |-- sles9-sp-i386 | |-- ARCHIVES.gz | |-- CD1 | |-- CD2 | |-- CD3 | |-- INDEX.gz | `-- ls-lR.gz `-- yast |-- instorder `-- order

15 directories, 14 files

cat yast/instorder /sles9-sp-i386/CD1 /sles9-sp-i386/CD1 /sles9-i386/CD1 /sles9-i386/CD1 /core9-i386/CD1 /core9-i386/CD1 / cat yast/order /sles9-sp-i386/CD1 /sles9-sp-i386/CD1 /sles9-i386/CD1 /sles9-i386/CD1 /core9-i386/CD1 /core9-i386/CD1 /
