Does anyone know if this bug can be worked around easily enough? I'm not really sure how to procede at this point. I'm also hoping that there is more documentation on how to use YAST and Suse in general.
Can't help you directly, but have you searched our support database at http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/index.html ? It might have help regarding the floppy drive.

Thanks I tried this. The Floppy device is already enabled. That was the only suggestion I could find. Didn't really make sense though. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the floppy disk hardware or drivers. I think that the boot.iso is a little weird. I've been using this computer as a installation test bed for other distributions (gentoo, debian, slackware) without incident (other than the i810 graphics card, but I'm not there yet). It's disappointing really. I've heard so many great things about Suse. But have heard so many great things in the name of Marketing from everyone in the Computer Industry that I'm a little doubtful of everything I hear. I am still hopeful I can get a working copy of Suse so I can actually evaluate it for a bit before I start putting down money on it.
