Add echo `expr 2048 \* 1024 \* 1024` > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax to /etc/init.d/boot.local ( for example)

and create symlinks to this file in /etc/init.d/rc3.d and probably rc5.d i.e.: ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.local /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S01boot.local

For this you don't need to create a K0X.... link

If you are not familiar with the SuSE Linux boot concept have a look at the manuals. It is helpfull to understand how this works.
