Not that I've ever come across, sorry.
Your best bet, is to use either the recovery boot (or Knoppix) and label
the disc first with GPT, then install as normal. Once the disc has a GPT
partition label, YaST will work with it fine - it just can't create a
GPT partition label. (Even worse, YaST creates a normal MSDOS partition
label whenMSDOS isn't appropriate. <rant> I tried submitting a bug
report on this, but SuSE/Novell couldn't see the point </rant>)

Is there a way to set a partition through the Yast2 partitioner as
having a GPT label? Even better, is it possible to make autoyast
create a gpt label on a device before it installs onto it?
