Thanks for the help.
However "booting installed sys" from CD1 doesn't work entirely, it won't load USB. Also the fsck fails as filesys is not read-only.
That because of the fact SuSE cannot load the parameters from your boot-floppy.
What I really want is the graphic boot menu to choose win, Linux 2.2, Linux 2.4, mem-test etc. that you get with the initial boot-floppy created on installation. I can't find any info (in suse-help) on how to do that, unless I'm looking in the wrong places!
Suggestion: Why don't you install Lilo on the MBR? That would be done by running the setup again, then booting the installed system, login as root and run /sbin/lilo. As far as I can remember you can also use Yast to determine where to install lilo - on the MBR or on boot-disk. Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang-bang fruit
