IDE disks are automatically handled, you don't need to supply any
parameters.

Realtek for HDD, you mean the NIC perhaps? No, use the Intel e1000
driver.

You don't need to supply any parameters for the NIC, PCI NICs are
autoconfiguring and the driver will find the right addresses and IRQs.
But you may need to supply the IP address of the SUSE FTP server for a
FTP install, so find that out and write it down. If you are going
through a DSL or cable router, you should select DHCP and then the
routing is handled automatically.
