I don't see a way to do that either. Starting in the "Expert Partitioner"
screen with nothing but the "Hard Disk" /dev/vda, when I select that drive, and
press Alt-e for "edit", I cannot define it as a root "partition" to be
formatted, but am led to the "Overview / Partitions" screen which wants me to
add a vda1 partition (which is not what I want).

The only other option I see to use /dev/vda, is to create an LVM volume group
out of it. I'll try that now, just to see what the "yast clone_system" autoyast
generated file will then look like, but that's also not the setup I want to
have. 

By the way, with that selected in the isntaller (just a volume group xxx with a
logical volume root, on vda, I notice that the "Installation Settings"
confirmation screen then completely lacks the usual "Partitioning" display or
choice - it does not show any partitioning (or volume group / logical volume)
information at all. It does proceed to do as told, though, creating my volume
group directly on vda
