I was informed that it should actually be called 'Safe Mode'. Someone gave me the indication that a fresh install of SuSE 7.3 actually calls it safe mode rather than SuSE. I do not know since I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3 and SuSE was still in the menu.
No, the "safe mode" is a different thing - it actually uses the same kernel, just passes some additional boot parameters (e.g. "nodma, disableapic") to be able to boot on flaky/older hardware.
