The boot options(prompt) never worked for me. That seemed obvious since it seemed to only boot to the CD and didn't load anything for the network card.
What I did was continue with the Manual installation option, then select the proper module for my network card from those given.
After that, I continued into the Network installation option, only then could I have it go to an FTP server. Luckily, I was behind DHCP, so the card just picked up the settings, configuring for DSL or Cable first might be a tad impossible, I assume?
Anyway,
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/SuSE/suse/i386/9.0 gave me great rates seeing as how the SuSE FTP server was totally full.
