There is still an open issue regarding generating the settings:
Bug 887406 - Build0559: AutoYaST doesn't clone firewall settings
So "yast clone_system" generates the right one :-)

There has been a bug which is fixed for RC1.
In some cases following wrong entry will be generated.

     <drive>
       <device>/dev/tmpfs</device>
       <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
       <partitions config:type="list"/>
       <pesize/>
       <type config:type="symbol">CT_TMPFS</type>
       <use>all</use>
     </drive>

Please remove it manually for testing.

But please open a bug report for it.

Could you please point us to the bugzilla entry ?

This is fixed now.

Could you please open a bug report ?

Thanks again for detailed report.
