I'm a bit late to the conversation here, but... I gave 12.3 Beta1 a
try last night with a clean install on a real machine (instead of the
usual VBox route)

I downloaded the DVD-iso (openSUSE-DVD-Build0348-x86_64.iso), applied isohybrid to it and installed from the then created USB stick.
First question: Why did you apply isohybrid to the DVD-iso? That should not be necessary. The steps for creating a bootable USB stick are: 1. Download the DVD-iso 2. Find your USB stick and plug it in 3. Launch SuSE ImageWriter 4. Drag/drop the iso to the ImageWriter window and wait a couple minutes. If you use unetbootin, the steps shouldn't be much different. The "need" for isohybrid has gone away several releases ago. I don't think you even need it if you go the dd route - although you may need to set a boot flag on the USB stick. Aha, maybe this is why.... http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick#Bootable_USB_from_DVD_or_Net-insta... explains that this is necessary. I assume that is quite out of date? I haven't had to use isohybrid in a long time for the DVD iso.
goes without any warning or error, but after it's finished the system won't boot up from the disk: No operating system.
I got this as well. I booted the USB, installed 12.3B1 (clean install, formatting /dev/sda), and on initial reboot, the computer complained about there being no operating system. I unplugged the USB stick, and reset the computer and everything booted up properly, and the second stage of the install loaded and completed correctly. My drive setup is 4 HDDs, /dev/sda is my Linux drive, /dev/sdb is my Windows drive, and /dave/sdc and sdd are large sotrage drives (no OS installed to either). Grub is installed to /dev/sda (default setting). So far, after that initial glitch with the first boot after install, the system is working pretty good for a Beta1 release (minor issues, but not on topic with this thread).
