Yes, it does have to do. It is 9.3, an installed system working for 
several years now; what I was doing is upgrading one HD, not the system. 

Yast sees the disk perfectly, I made the partitions using yast. But the 
bootloader section of Yast does _not_ see the disk. I tried several times 
and different ways, till I discovered that grub does not see that disk. I 
know what I'm talking about.
