My first installation went without a hickup and everything looks good, after a quick glance anyway. Thanks!! I left the grub settings at the suggestion made by yast. root fs is /dev/md2 (it's a spare partition). Boot loader was installed to md2. System bootet fine - with the grub menu from the 10.2 installation on that system (which I had forced into mbr). Does this mean there would have been nothing much but a black screen on first boot had the previous boot loader not been there? How many people boot from a Linux software raid1? The booting works fine, but few releases of 8.x, 9.x and 10.[012] do install it functionally in my experience.
