I found a better way using kexec in the dvd installation system. Boot into rescue system, init 1 (you must go to single user mode otherwise you will boot with the dvd's drivers) mount your root at /mnt then kexec -l --command-line=root=/dev/yourroot --initrd=/mnt/boot/initrd /mnt/boot/vmlinuz then kexec -e You could probably do this from any console in the installation system, for instance after system repair.

Wow extremely nice! This should be a big simple wiki page all by itself with plenty of keywords so it turns up in searches.
All related discussion about how to determine "/dev/yourroot" etc should be off in other pages but linked, to keep the recipe above exactly as short and clear as it is.
Its actually better than boot installed system because you end up with your current kernel, all it does is bypass the bootloader. There is already a wiki page for kexec http://en.opensuse.org/Kexec. If you have kexec package installed and you run the command kexec-bootloader prior to a reboot it skips the bios and bootloader part of the reboot.
