This option seems to have disappeared since 10.2 - is there a problem or can it be added back in 10.3.  If not is there a simple user fix to put this option back.

FYI - I installed yesterday the alpha 5 kde only CD on a boring P4 office p/c (with 512 ram shared with graphics) yesterday. No problems at all and it runs really quickly (especially noticeable on installing extra packages).  It makes may home dual-core mega AMD p/c with 10.2 x64 seem quite pedestrian.

yes, floppies are somewhat obsolete

Seems a bit strange to remove the option regardless - especially as other distributions still include the option to save grub to a floppy.  Just incase this post comes up on a search engine - the answer is to:-

yast

system

boot loader

other

edit boot option

change the first entry for hd0 to fdo in the /etc/grub.conf file
