The problem is easy to describe: In menu.lst, yast enters wrong values for the
`root' parameter. Assuming that you install from a DVD to a USB-HDD, it
enters, for example,
root (hd1,1)
for the boot entry which is wrong: While booting, the USB-HDD is the *first*
disk! Consequently, it has to be
root (hd0,1)
instead.
This fix is not easy to find for Joe User; this should probably mentioned in
