Problem 2: in spite of the appearance of having put GRUB in hda3, the install had evidently put it in the MBR of hda, wiping the previous GRUB that booted my everyday FC4 on hdc. Not Nice.
Worth reporting as a bug. I don't use GRUB, but have sofar not had any problems with lilo in this respect. Given that GRUB is the default, I'm surprised to hear of any bugs in that area at all.

This looks exactly like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=159377
which is in "needinfo" status. My info looks identical but I'll send it in anyway.

Looking at the bug report again it may be that both I and the bug reporter missed a setting, the checkbox "Activate bootloader partition". My hda3 partition seems to have been made bootable - an "*" in the fdisk list. This does not seem to have any practical effect, though if I ever wanted to fire up the old 98SE on hda1 I might have a problem. 10.1 is still activated from my main GRUB menu, but the SUSE graphical boot menu dumps me to a CLI login - different problem. I'll leave this until I get the graphics card error fixed.
