I couldn't see what you meant by this but have now successfully booted
using factory ISO build 0133
http://powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.2-NET-ppc-Build0133-Media.iso

However I now have problems once the installation configuration is
complete and install phase proper starts - it dies with error -3028 when
setting a partition label - see bug 447782
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447782

Has *anyone* managed an iMac / PPC installation using 11.1-Beta5 / 5.1 /
5.2 ?
