I had ecactly the same experience when installing 11.4 on a Toshiba R700.
Linux bootet just fine, but attempting to boot windows gave me "BOOTMGR is
missing".
The reason for this is the notebooks nonstandard partition layout, where there
is a small sda1 windows boot partition which is distinct from the windows OS
partition sda2 and that yast2 grub configurator does not correctly detect this
and creates a windows boot entry pointing directly to sda2.
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 821247 409600 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 821248 139526457 69352605 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 * 139528192 625141759 242806784 f W95 Erw. (LBA)

/dev/sda6 606504960 608606207 1050624 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 608608256 625104895 8248320 82 Linux Swap / Solaris
While in fact this "makes any newbie run away screaming" the fix was just
adjusting the partition of the "rootnoverify" entry of the grub windows boot
entry in /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst.
Trivial for anyone skilled with grub.
