I am running SuSE 9.0 Pro on an AMD Athlon 1GHz ASUS A7V mobo

In addition I have installed Xandros 2.0 into its own logical partition. However I did not allow Xandros to modify my MBR and my floppy drive is not working.

I have tried using YaST to add Xandros to the boot menu, by pointing to the Xandros kernel and initrd but this has not worked. (all I get is a blank screen)

Does anyone know how to add another linux installation to an existing SuSE boot config?

It is normally a very easy thing to add a new kernel or boot situation to: /boot/grub/menu.lst But it sounds like your problem could be deeper. I assume you *did* get YAST to add Xandros to the list of boots.... but maybe your Xandros isn't properly set up and it's not booting for that reason.
