Here's how we have our installation sources setup.
We have the base, core, sp3, and updates (downloaded from SuSE) all within
one directory that we can get at through nfs (ftp should be similar).
Here's the installation sources that all of our guests have:
Software Source Media

|On |SUSE SLES 9 Service-Pack Version 3|nfs://clonixs//sles9/sp3/CD1

And here's what that "/sles9" directory looks like:

The important line are the links (those with "->") and the last 2 lines,
instorder and order.
The instorder file contains:
/base9/CD1 /base9/CD1
/core9/CD1 /core9/CD1
/sp3/CD1 /sp3/CD1
/ /
And the order file contains:
/sp3/CD1 /sp3/CD1
/base9/CD1 /base9/CD1
/core9/CD1 /core9/CD1
/ /
But, they're only important if you're installing new guests completely from
scratch.
