There is a setting in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader, i.e. LOADER_LOCATION. I don't remember now what is default, but I changed mine to MBR. It might be affected by /etc/grub.conf, but I saw that problem when I installed on our office server, where it appeared to NOT install grub nor a generic master boot record. I also had an AMD processor. I assumed it was my raid1 drives, but perhaps not. I'm not sure if the grub command would care about the setting in /etc/sysconfig or just Yast bootloader module, but that is my take on it.
