Hrmf.... I did this but it 12.2 gave me the two-fingered salute and put the loader into /boot and not where I told it- a specially created partition (sda1) called "btldr".
Looks like uefi / grub 2.
Yup.. my new computer ended up the same way. I hadn't even realised I had UEFI instead of the old fashioned BIOS until this happened... prompted me to go looking and researching why this was handled this way. One "neat" feature is now your UEFI is aware of your openSUSE install. If you boot your system, press DEL and go into the UEFI , you will see openSUSE listed as an OS. You will also note that /sda1 is a FAT32 partition, not a Linux native partition... this is now your EFI System Partition... thus how UEFI is aware of your installed OS. It's very well documented on the Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface Worth a read so you understand the changes/differences between BIOS and UEFI... specifically, "UEFI does not launch any boot code in the MBR whether it exists or not."
