I need to enter IP address and hostname manually at the boot prompt because this is customer specific. I can't use DHCP or similar things for getting automatic addresses and so on. Later my pre install script reads the hostname out of boot parameters and creates a serial number from it. Harald Milz wrote:

Hi,

...

I've got a big problem. I try to install SuSE 8.2 with autoyast and use as bootdevice a floppy disk. The rest of the installation (config file for autoyast, installation directory) is available from the network. I enter at the bootprompt "insmod=eepro100" but the installer never asks for modules 3 disk. After manually loading the correct module the installation takes place. Is it possible to tell yast/autoyast to load modules not only from the boot disk and modules 1?
