No, it doesn't get put into the initrd. Remember, there are two files associated with each NIC, one in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/hardware. (That's changing with SLES11 by the way. The ...../hardware file is going away.) As the OP noted, you may have a _nm_name='qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.####' entry in there, pointing to the hwcfg file. (My SLES9 system doesn't have that, but my SLES10 system does.) Worse (in this regard), in SLES10, udev rules to ensure the Linux eth? names are persistent get put into /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules. So, you may need to edit that as well.
