You must use the Expert Partitioner option (bottom center) when you get to the partitioning setup page. The left column should show | All Devices | Hard Disks | sda | sdb | : Choose the disk you want openSUSE to install onto, and define root, swap, etc. partitions. (See https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/single-html/book-refer... for details on using the partitioner and the boot setup tools.) Continue with additional setup pages. Eventually you will get to the Installation Settings page. There you will see an entry for Booting which you can use to tell the installer on which device you want the boot to be placed.
Thanks Leslie, That's what I did. At first Yast proposed using swap from 15.0 on /dev/sdb1 and added a new 8M BIOS Boot partition (even though I'll never use it). Yast complains very loudly if you delete it and build a partition scheme without it. So I recreated it and just left it -- As Carlos said -- it's not hurting anything and may come in handy later. Blew the rest away, added 2G swap on sda, and a 40G / and rest of 500G went to /home -- all ext4. 15.4 Beta install went well, KDE3 up and purring like a kitten again, just have some timeouts to fix on boot (15.4 takes 48 sec to boot, compared to 15.0 that boots in 12 -- usually a network timeout) So far so good. -- David C.
