If you've ever installed SuSE off of a CD or DVD, the boot
screen has the following options

 [  ]   Boot Installed System
 [  ]   Memtest86
 [  ]   Install SuSE Linux
 [  ]   Safe Install SuSE Linux

 [the last option being one with the noapic and another option
  which prevents problems with older motherboards]

So just use a SuSE install CD as a boot CD.

It's already on the SuSE install CD/DVD
