I know the rescue option in the dvd had to be dropped. Too problematic, and no maintainer.
Could some of it be "rescued"?
The thing that fails most is grub. Just a repair grub, perhaps a repair missing kernel/initrd?
Once the system boots, the user should be able to repair the rest (hope).
I've been wondering if this functionality isn't still "available" (almost), by simply booting the cd/dvd media, select "Boot from harddisk", once the installed system is booted, run yast bootloader to install grub properly again.
But I'm unsure how much you can break your bootloader installation and still be able to use the "boot from harddisk" option.
I proposed a kexec boot option for the dvd a long time ago see : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432929 which after using the rescue system (is this what is no longer on the dvd?) and kexec to boot a couple of times seemed a better option than the "boot installed system" option. It has the advantage of booting the system with it's own kernel. Scripting is not a strong point with me and my openSUSE time is taken up by multimedia and a few other things I maintain, blender-2.54 beta is waiting for my attention and it's not an easy update, so I can't help. All the script would have to do is - mount the installed system - locate the correct kernel in /boot - then kexec boot it.
