In my DVD there not present either, try ftp server from opensuse.org. There
is a directory called bootdisk. These files you can use with rawrite.
I used ftp.nl.uu.net//pub5/suse/i386/10.0/bootdisks

There are 7 disk, but believe you only need 1-5. But am not 100% sure.

My PC doesn't have a DVD player, so I used the boot.iso of 9.3 and burned it
to a CD. It boots fine and after that I installed Suse 10.0 trough a nfs
server.

Good luck!
