Tips on how to get started with auto install from boot disks

Hi All, This is my first post to this group, and I apologise if I am asking something that is a common thread. I have the need to using a boot floppy, have a minimal network version of linux start, load a non standard broadcom driver and run a standard install from a network server, actually a laptop. I will need to do this with SUSE 9.1, SLES 8& 9. Whilst I do not expect anyone to provide me with a complete solution, some guidance on where to look for the tools to do this, would be greatly appreciated.
