I have tried YaST, not YaST2, because the latter could not even see the disk.
It is the same program:

However, yast2 knows that if you call it as yast from a terminal it is because you want ncurses mode instead of graphical.
To be clear, YaST2 looks for the DISPLAY environment variable. If it's set, it uses the GUI mode (on the X11 display indicated by DISPLAY). If you're running a terminal emulator (Konsole, say) and go there an run YaST2: % YaST2 ... you'll get the GUI version (limited functionality if you're not root). If you suppress the DISPLAY variable: % DISPLAY= YaST2 ... you'll get the character-mode interface. If DISPLAY is not acceptable, you get a diagnostic: % DISPLAY=:1 YaST2 y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :1
