That doesn't sound like AutoYast, rather someone used SUSE Studio to build an 
appliance.  But of course I could be wrong since I don't have the media on hand.

Sounds like you've strayed far away from System z.  :)  I think you need to 
open up a service request for this.  Preferably with both the vendor and your 
Linux service provider, since I think everyone involved is going to have to 
understand how the media was created and what's going on during the install 
process.

If you use a DL DVD, it will fit, since those hold 8.4G.  Of course you need a 
DVD burner capable of handling that media.  That's all source code anyway, so 
it's not really needed for installation.
