In case you have never done this, you would log into the rescue system, then mount the root partition of the drive, i.e. mount /dev/md0 /mnt (Not sure if these are still needed in 10.3 or not) mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys cd mnt chroot /mnt That will put you into your old system as root. To run Yast2 ncurses mode, run yast. to exit out of your change rooted system, type exit. Then shutdown -r now to reboot.
