I did not do this for SuSE, but it works for Mandrake:

the following is from the above website, you could try it with SuSE, all Linux should work in a similar approach:

Via Hard Disk or Network with No Floppy or CD-ROM
1. Copy the necessary files from the isolinux directory to /boot/

cd /path/to/mirror/isolinux/alt0/
cp vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-all
cp all.rdz /boot
2. Make an entry in /etc/lilo.conf if you use LILO or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you use GrUB
a. Example entry for LILO bootloader

image=/boot/vmlinuz-all
label=all-install
root=/dev/ram3
initrd=/boot/all.rdz
append="ramdisk_size=32000"
vga=791
read-only
Note that with Mandrake 10.1beta2 you have to increase the ramdisk_size parameter to install it from Hard Disk. I've set it to 700000 "to be sure" and it worked. As always, after you have finished editing /etc/lilo.conf, you need to run /sbin/lilo before your changes take effect.

b. Example entry for GrUB bootloader

title all-install
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-all root=/dev/ram3 ramdisk_size=32000 vga=791
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/all.rdz


3. at next reboot, choose all-install in the boot loader, it will ask you the media from which the install will read the packages. choose ISO image and put the directory name when prompted.

Hope this works, good luck.
