Apparently there is something in the laptop that yast2 just dosn't know how to handle. Boot from floppy with cdrom#1 in there, at the floppy boot prompt, enter "manual" and you will be able to install with yast1.
Shoulda thoughta that. Did a YAST1 install and it is humming along fine. I have gotten spoiled by the point and click interface of YAST2 ;-P
Thanks for the pointer.

Well, it worked... sort of. I got the base system installed OK. I can boot to a text prompt no problem. It chokes on SAX big time. Looks like (as someone suggested) it is not too happy with the video card built into the laptop.
Sigh... unless someone has figured out a quick workaround for this, it looks like this machine will be <shudder> booting Windows for now. I know, I could hand edit the config files until it works, but I don't have enough knowledge, time and patience to do that right now.
