Not sure if the change of syntax is expected/wanted but I think things could be made easier. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All I can say is that there is no 'install=device...' boot option. Correct is either 'install=hd:/' or 'install=disk:/'. Darryl, did you add the option yourself or was it automatically added by YaST? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
