It's actually quite simple: move your /etc/rc.d directory to something like 
/etc/rc.d.old so you have a backup of your working SuSE init scripts.

Then unpack the rc.d and sysconfig directories from the file I've attached 
into /etc and you're almost done.

In /etc/rc.d/init.d there are now the new bootscripts, read through them and 
make changes as you like. I suggest adding a /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local script 
that does your stuff (copy any other script from /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and modify 
it) and make the links in the runlevel directory to that script.

More about this topic can be found on 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view/3.3/chapter07/chapter07.html

Since there are very few scripts in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory and since 
they are very short it is _way_ easier to understand and modify than the SuSE 
scripts ;-)

C'ya,
	Marc
