Add-on product URI naming scheme

Hi

In an attempt to create SLES11SP2/3 installation images, which contain various repositories with some in-house developed RPMs, some questions have popped up from my customer.

Although I have searched in the "usual places"++ (admit not being very good at that) I have not been able to find clear answers.

I once had a case about location of the info file for linuxrc (where one could refer to  info=disk:/info?device=*usb*), but I am not sure this applies to AutoYaST.
Also the paths available during installation are not clear to me.

Is anybody willing to elaborate or point to sources that document the naming schemes and paths.

Thank you.

Best regards
Andreas
