The /var/adm/cache/autoinstall/installedSystem.xml says:
<bootloader>
<global config:type="list">
<key>timeout</key>
<value config:type="integer">10</value>
true
true

Hmm, this is interesting. This may match my:
<activate config:type="boolean">true</activate>
<boot_mbr config:type="boolean">true</boot_mbr>
lines being rewritten improperly??
This goes to my "Aside" question below on the structure
of the bootloader section.

I rewrote my bootloader global section as so:
<bootloader>
<global>
<timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout>
<activate config:type="boolean">true</activate>
true
</global>
<activate config:type="boolean">true</activate>
grub
<location>mbr</location>
true
...
</bootloader>
And the "boot_mbr" and "grub"->"mbr" items all got
into the resultant merged profile correctly, and it
now appears that indeed GRUB got installed to the MBR
in3:~ # dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=64 | grep -ab --only-matching GRUB
304:GRUB
8388:GRUB
and the installed system miraculously reboots on its own ;)
So, again, i would ask what the proper syntax of the
global section is given that even the latest autoyast
documentation uses both forms in different examples?
This is for SLES10sp3, again.
thanks,
