I have successfully installed this image:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/RaspberryPi2/images/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi3.armv7l-2016.03.09-Build5.2.raw.xz

It has several issues with booting.  Uboot issues messages for a while
and eventually comes to a prompt.  If I type "boot", it boots up.  At
some point I noticed in dmesg a complaint that the first partition was
"dirty" and needed an fsck.  It is a FAT filesystem and fsck.fat isn't
installed.  I installed "dosfstools" and checked the file system.

One of the uboot messages complained that "usbethaddr" was not set.
Every time it boots it chooses a new MAC address which causes the dhcp
server to give it a new address every time.  I set that variable and did
a saveenv.  I suppose that is supposed to happen somehow during the
first boot.

There are also messages about variables "bootfile" and "pxeuuid" being
missing.  Variable "scan_dev_for_efi" is a script that tries to set
variable "boot_prefixes" but doesn't get it right.

I will read u-boot documentation and try to figure it out but if
somebody fixes it I can move on to something else.

Thanks.
Bill
