Dear Winfrid,
I had discussion with Josef and there are several solutions for problem with a
lot of checkboxes "Boot from ..." but the first about your problem with
booting.
yast2-bootloader proposed overwritting content of MBR with GRUB and if you
didn't change it your system is bootable. Your settings were valid (I explain
later why) and it is cause why you didn't see any error message.
The huge number of checkboxes has historical reason. We just rewrite UI from
generated UI via special metadata to classical UI which can help us to better
control user inputs or fix troubles in UI (e.g. it is too short input field)
The major change you don't see because it is about handling UI NOT about
changing components of UI like checkboxes, comboboxes etc. Better design of UI
components is next step. Josef has a lot of ideas what can be change and what
is better solution than what we have now. But I am sure that you are not happy
if you see good UI with perfect usability but one half of settings don't work.
There is still a lot of bugs and I prefer fixing existing bugs before creating
new super, cool and ideal UI. There are still a lot of work. :-(
