Here is my config which seems to work
   note that all of the "info" options are on the same line as the kernel

I have another question, what is "framebuffer 1" doing, I assumed
  it would enable framebuffer for a gui install, but that doesn't work on
  my hardware. Is there something "framebuffer 1" is doing that "vga=788"
  isn't ?

-----------------------------------------------

color white/blue black/light-gray
default 0
timeout 8
#framebuffer 1

title autoinstall-bootp
         bootp
         root (nd)
         ifconfig --server=192.168.0.1

     kernel (nd)/linux vga=788 language=english netdevice=eth0
server=192.168.0.1 serverdir=/home/ftp/pub/suse 
install=nfs://192.168.0.1/home/ftp/pub/suse 
autoyast=nfs://192.168.0.1/home/ftp/pub/suse/autoyast.xml

     initrd (nd)/initrd
