I use my /dev/hda1 installation for the same purpose as it is used separate 
boot partition in Bob's. 

It has complete /boot directory that is used completely only for version that 
is installed on /dev/hda1 (stable version). For all other versions, installed 
on other partitions, are used the grub related entries in /boot/grub 
and /boot/message file while kernel stuff for each version is located on 
coresponding partition in /boot directory. 

This way I have no problems to update kernel using YaST, and I don't try my 
luck by overwriting MBR on each installation. I have good base for repairs of 
installations on other partitions. Even if I move new version that deserves 
attribute stable to /dev/hda1 everything still works if I keep 
same /boot/grub/menu.lst. 

The only quirk is that I have to use Advanced tab in Instalation proposal to 
tell SUSE installer not to install grub. Than later to edit manually section 
for particular partition in /boot?grub/menu.lst on /dev/hda1. With new SUSE 
versions that is mostly change in line
 title SUSE <version>
the rest is generic. 

BTW, have anybody tested how is handled resume option on systems with few 
installations. Is it possible to happen that you request suspend to disk in 
one installation and resume in another that is default?
