I'll add the following snippet:
Non-existent Floppy Drive Enabled in BIOS Causes Hang
If a floppy drive support is enabled in the BIOS, but does not
actually exist in the machine, it can cause hangs during the
installation which YaST is searching for partitions.
To avoid this issue, disable floppy drive support in the BIOS.

> installation which YaST is searching for partitions.
=E2=80=9CWhen=E2=80=9D, not =E2=80=9Cwhich=E2=80=9D :-)
I think it should be:
=E2=80=9Cinstallation when YaST is searching for partitions.=E2=80=9D
or
=E2=80=9Cinstallation while YaST searches for partitions.=E2=80=9D
