i tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. the file is supposed to be
initrd, initrd.img, or initrd.gz?

Well, loadlin needs either a ramdisk image (initrd) or an installed
partition to boot (from the little bit I just read). It looks like all
you've got so far is a kernel. You may be able to copy the initrd off
the boot cd from SuSE, then use it.
