    When you come to the SILO boot prompt, type in "yast1". That's all
    that you need to do.

    Understandable... it's also a big download for people without fast
    network connections.

    The CDs for download don't have the English version, either. I confess
    that it's still being worked on and should be available soon. The
    manual you have must be for another architecture (I'm assuming x86)...
    so some of the SuSE-specific stuff will be there, but SPARC-specific
    instructions will not.

    In the meantime, I can help you on this mailing list. :)
