I would take my original install disk, configure to install from disc
and when the splash screen comes up choose "install". There will be a
subsequent menu for "repair", "upgrade", and new install. I forget which
one, but I think "repair" can get you back to monitor setup, I think
SaX2. You can get to the same spot from root Yast, but when using the
install disc I think prioritys are different. Just a thought.
