Further information:

Now I created a dedicated /boot-partition:

The error message now says:

grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0,3)(hd0,3)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition.
grub> quit

(Sure, it should be the case that more information is given.
"Cannot" says nothing.
And obviously the system should now about the *typical* problems
when installing Suse on a laptop with windows (or has Suse given
up on this?))
