Create ESP partition (with correct GUID) and format it as FAT; mount it as /boot/efi run "grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi"; it will return an error that it could not update firmware settings.

Thanks for the answer, but... Way over my head, this would be my first UEFI install. The install system is empty, so I need to partition the disk. GPT is the order, how do I tell the non-UEFI booted installer to create a GPT?
In expert yast partitioner select a disk, in lower right corner there is "Expert" menu (I think it is called this way) where you can chose to initialize partition table to MBR or GPT.
Then I need an EFI partition, how big should these by, BTW?
With grub2 it contains a couple of megabytes. so 100MB should be enough. elilo (and gummiboot) put kernels and initrds there so go figure.
The rest of the disk is something the installer should take care of, I hope.
Disable secure boot. On reboot you will need to manually select file to boot in your firmware menu (grubx64.efi on ESP). If this is not possible - find EFI shell; put it on USB stick as \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI and try to boot from USB stick. If it is successful, you are in shell environment where you can manually load grub.
The BIOS seems good enough to find UEFI bootables.
If booting will be successful, you will need to go into yast and reconfigure bootloader. I advice first setting "no bootloader" and save. The select correct one. Changing bootloader on the fly never worked correctly in the past.
