That hack is only needed if you want your boot device to be a partition greater than 2TB. If you boot off of a device which is less than 2TB, then you don't need this hack at all. All you need to do is use parted to create a GPT partition table on the >2TB device before
using YaST.
In my environment, I use the cheapest/smallest discs (mirrored) for the O/S and the data lives on the big, fast, expensive SAN.

Thanks for the link.
The problem here is that I just bought a new Dell server, and I can not
install SLES on it without some major hacking.
Novell is not supporting this as I would expect, and telling me if I want >2TB
disks, then I need to change my architecture to IA64.
I do not find this acceptable, any one else have comments, or suggestions?
