In SLES9 there is a feature which is not documented exactly to solve 
this problem:


<install>
     ...
     <pxe>
       <pxe_localboot config:type="boolean">true</pxe_localboot>
       <pxelinux-config>
DEFAULT linux
  LABEL linux
  localboot 0

       </pxelinux-config>
       <tftp-server>192.168.1.1</tftp-server>
     </pxe>
     ...
</install>

This will make YaST upload the contents of <pxelinux-config> to the TFTP 
server. /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg has to be world writable.
