[sles-beta] AutoYast Issues SLES12 B9 - with steps and screenshots/sample files

I'm having some issues with the SLES12 B9 autoyast workflows:.

I'm doing the following:
1. Create "install server" with all media (Sles12, HA and each of the
modules).
2. Boot from "mini" disk and pass "install=http://{install server}/{repo
name}/CD1"
3. Do "accept all defaults" install.
4. Log into server and run yast/autoinstall module.
5. Open /root/autoinst.xml file (example attached -
B9-autoinst.xml

 ) and get bootloader error (screenshot attached -

).
6. customise auto-yast file and save (example attached -
test01-autoyast-B9.xm
<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=0d2db9dc4c&view=att&th=146c75482fe3c9b4&attid=0.6&disp=safe&realattid=f_hwrdrq0x6&zw>
  ) and copy resulting autoyast file to "install server"
7.  Boot from "mini" disk and pass "install=http://{install server}/{repo
path}/CD1 autoyast=http://{install server}/{autoyast
path}/{autoyastfile.xml}
8. Install runs but throws bootloader error (screenshot attached -

 ), I select "skip/continue"
9. Install appears to complete and goes into "yast - first boot" screen and
gets stuck (screenshot attached -

), I reboot server.
10. Server boots to generic (un-themed) GUI login screen (screenshot

).

Is any of this new issues???? which if any of these are worth raising new
SR's for?

Regards
Darren
