Oh Yogi, by the way, could you please reorganize the opensuse session
and add at least an autoyast file for opensuse 11.2 so I can actually
test if we can get a successful installation? I tried to play with the
XML file of SLES to see if I could get opensuse 11.2 installed, but it
turns out that those config files are an endless XML nightmare and all
I tried makes yast to die.

The mechanics of the whole thing are correct, I can get yast to start
with no problems, but parsing the autoyast file makes the VM to hang.
So I am fine with adding the patch, but it'd be nice to have an OS
with irrestrict access that everybody could play with (opensuse). I
don't have enough time to make it work on my own, so if you have some
spare time, please work on this.
