Well I am totally confused about using YaST2 to setup the bootloader, and no amount of reading documentation or searching the internet has allowed me to grok the underlying model of how this works... I am not looking for a cookbook set of instructions (which I find all over the place) BUT some clarification of terminology and what really is going on when I select various options.
[snip] I had also several times difficulties when tried to use yast to create boot loaders. For this reason I learned lilo and since then I almost ultimately use lilo on command line to manipulate boot loaders. Nevertheless I am happy that these questions were raised since I had/have many of them too. I think at least openSUSE admin guide should explain the various options since they can be choosen in YAST, ie they are not only changeable by config file editing and cli magic. The disk order thing is one of the mysterious questions for me too. How the system decides which drive will be eg. sda, sdb etc, and how the change in YAST influences this? I guess from the answers given by experts, we 'ordinary users' can learn a lot.
