it's not that easy. Autoyast recycles some code of the system updater to

architecture, the installed suse-release and so on.
Just an fstab is not enough.
I see room for enhancement there :)

since i'm creating a new Xen DomU, there's no clearly _existing_ linux
root partition in the DomU
how, in autoyast, can i get the DomU installer to mount & use the
vfb's phy: devices for the install as defined in "an" /etc/fstab
passed to it?
