[opensuse] Creating boot CD

Following the instructions in the Manual I created a boot CD on the assumption that it will boot me into my installed system in the same manner that is done from the Installation CD/DVD (but without having to go thru all the rigmarole of selecting the language etc.).

Booting the CD only gives me the grub> prompt but I expected to be actually booted into my system -- or am I expecting too much?

I suspect that I have incorrectly specified the CD as the device from which to boot. Here is the menu.lst which I included for the iso image - is the reference to the CD correct, please? My CD-ROM is /dev/hdb.

Cheers.
