See http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST for information on how to get the logs. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Both checkboxes you can find in yast2-bootloader (open bootloader configuration during installation) -> tab "Boot Loader Installation" -> button "Boot Loader Options" and there is frame "Boot Menu" where are located both checkboxes.
