We had some trouble after doing a minimal install of SLES9 s390x getting yast (or yast2) to install additional packages that were on different CDs. After some trial and error (and trolling through apache logs) I discovered for s390x (not s390) you need a symlink from the root installation directory to /sles9/CD1/yast/core9/suse. Once this symlink is in place accessing the repository via yast seems to work. We suspect this is indicative of a yast bug on s390x but have not yet worked out the details.
Also note that often people do not bother loading the source CDs so we had to hack the script to remove the need for CD's 5 & 6. I will update the script and send a new version to Mark soonish.
