After installation of openSUSE 42.1-RC1 to a second partition on my system with the legacy BIOS bootable option set, I ended up with two partitions having the "boot" and "boot_legacy" flags set. Of course, the BIOS refused to boot. To work around this situation, I needed to boot a rescue system and use parted to toggle the legacy_boot flag off for one of the two partitions. This bug is identical to that of Bug 848609, which was "fixed" in 13.1. Obviously, it has crept back in with the SLE code.
