Hello - am going to start a new thread for this question. In my recent set of machinations with setting up a new disk for my system, to replace one that may be failing, I encountered a problem for which I couldn't find an easy answer. It appears that when I tell the YaST boot loader setup tool to configure and create a new MBR it does so on the same disk which has the partition that contains the OS files. My system now has 4 drives installed and the BIOS only allows me to select just 3 drives (it's choice as to which 3 drives I get to choose from) to specify the order in which to search the drives for a boot loader. And my new drive now contains the partition which contains my Leap42.1 system. Because I was adding a new 4rth drive, the BIOS is not presenting the new drive to me as one of the options to use for setting up the search order, for a boot loader. I finally managed to get the BIOS to present it by disconnecting one of the other drives but that is an unacceptable solution in the long run. BTW the way I managed to boot up the Leap42.1 system was to boot up an older SuSE system located on one of the other drives and use Yast there to discover all the available OS's, create a boot menu for them, and then use the MBR/Grub menu it wrote out to select the Leap42.1 system. That works, but it took a lot of head scratching to figure out that was what I needed to do. So my question is this - is there some way to tell the YaST boot setup tool that I want to specify which drive that I want it to create an MBR on?
