Yes, it was dropped as a boot option in the DVD because, if my memory is right, it was broken beyond
repair and no people went forward to maintain and test it. Pity.
You can find the story in the factory list, I think.
There is, however, the yast repair module, once the system is running.

That’s a good question. The rpm is “yast-repair”, but I don’t know how to start it.

None. It is a different thing.
I recommend you look up the thread in the factory list where this was reported.

I concur.
This was main reason I used OpenSUSE as from Live CD I could fix things easily!
Should there not then be a possible “RESCUE SUSE”, CD to download and burn for those not so competent in command line?
Also how do you boot into rescue at log in? I try my root log in and password no effect, normal user log in and password no effect . stuck at log in cursor. NO help given to suggest a possible log in name /password to get into system?
You need to ask that at Openfate , but as repairing this tool has been there since a long time without any ressource to take it in charge i doubt this will change a lot .
There’s a lack of ressource to handle things out.

It was broken beyond repair.

Did you try “root”?
