How did you create the AutoYaST file?

I just tried (re)installing a SLES12 Beta2 VM using the autoinst.xml 
file from a manual install but during the auto-install process, after 
configuring bootloader, I'm prompted for Installation Settings with a 
screen offering the default values not those I configured during my 
manual install.

On closer inspection of the auto-generated autoinst.xml file from the 
original manual install it looks like the "clone system for AutoYaST" 
process is broken since it's missing partitioning and software settings.

I didn't see a reboot during the auto-install.

HTH.
