[sles-beta] Help, getting an autoyast build for "multi-user" target

[Darren Thompson]

I can say clearly that "something" is broken.

I'm not sure "what" is broken at this stage.

The "yast service-manager"  module does not even list multi-user as an
available target to choose on the pull-down list.

If I try specifying:
<services-manager>
  <default_target>multi-user</default_target>
</services-manager>
In my autoayst files then it gets really strange as you get dropped to an
un-configured x-server login screen and then have to run "init 3" to get to
the root console.

Which of these odd/incorrect/non-intuitive behaviours do you wish me to log?
