1. perform a 13.1 install from DVD 2. install autoyast packages via zypper 3. generate an answer file using yast2 clone_system 4. change system specific disk references to generic (ie sda1, rather than /disk/by/uuid) 5. boot from install dvd with autoyast=usb:///autoinst.xml option 6. yast installer appears w with the message Calling the YaST module `inst_autoinit has failed
