I just tried to install grub, and removed grub2. zypper said grub legacy already installed, and removed grub2. After reboot, grub was not 'in command' forgot, did not think about to
What do you mean by "grub was not 'in command'"?
install it. What command is needed to boot the kernel, or rather, install a bootloader? 122 install disc only has cli rescue, but is not usable at that point. 122 lacks the repair option/boot installed os at install point. Any suggestions as to how to get a complete system booted from zero, without having to install everything new??

It's actually very easy if you can bring up a Grub prompt either via rescue boot or another installed version on a multiboot system: http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html#SEC9 The specifics depend on your partitioning and whether 12.2 is the only installed OS. I usually use a Knoppix CD when I need to do this. It's how I set up Grub on a previously empty HD, before installing any OS, so that I can install via HTTP. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
