Actually, SUSE does NOT bypass your BIOS settings, *but* it has 2 bootloaders, one on the CD-ROM and other in the Hard Disk, so you migh boot from CD-ROM wait for 10 seconds, and if you don't pressed any buttons, it boot from Hard Disk.

So *watch* carefully what bootloader runs after restart. (and don't blink)

The two bootloaders look the same but have one *big* diffrence - bootloader on CD has first option to "boot from Hard Disk", while bootloader on Hard Disk has no such option, because it already booted from HDD.

OK, Alexey beat me to it - sorry for the duplicate post. But it sounds like more than one person has tripped over the similarity, so I wonder if it would make sense for SUSE to do something simple to change the appearance of one or the other selection screen. Either make them two different background colors, or two different foreground text colors, or perhaps _move_ the block of selections on the screen, enough to be obvious... one would be (say) center-left and the other would be center-right. Or, on the CD-based boot selector, the first option could blink while the countdown was on. Any observations and comments? Or is this just too darn trivial?
