A BIOS system, or GUID?
BIOS
thing I changed in the suggested setup was that I placed the boot code on the root partition on that disk, instead of in the MBR of my first disk (which is part of the production disk set, so I don't want to fool around with that).
Intallation went without a glitch, but it won't boot, complaining that /dev/root cannot be found. I am presented with the choice to seek it on /dev/dsf2 (the root partition of the experiment disk), but refuses to respond to the keyboard (except for Ctrl-Alt-Del, which leads to a reboot...).
In my experience, not finding /dev/root means limited initrd content fails to match up correctly to the installation. If what you installed from was the M0 DVD iso,
It was
I suggest you try again, but with the boot.iso or installation kernel and initrd started from Grub, and do the installation from HTTP repo, which is how I do nearly all my installations.
How do I do that? Up till now I just start the iso (from usb, before that from DVD) and press install on the first menu...
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Network_installation Note that the media free section only provides a Grub Legacy stanza. Grub2 users are on their own to figure out how to get one into grub.cfg.
Newer versions of kernel, installer and/or dracut may well avoid repeating the problem.
Before going that route, access the 13.2 grub menu file
I can't find a grub menu file. There are two *menu.mod files, but these are binaries.
Should be /boot/grub/menu.lst for Grub Legacy or /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for Grub2.
and fstab
Hmm - the fstab file has a totally different format than I know - I'm afraid I can't make sense of it. I can see the mount point names, but no idea to which disks or disk partition they are related:
To find out where a UUID points one way is to compare UUID to the symlink in a long directory listing in /dev/disk/by-uuid/. There's also some sort of blockdev command I'm not familiar with that should do the same, IIRC. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
