the grub entry created at installation:

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows###
title Windows
    chainloader (hd1,0)+1

didn't work. I changed it into:

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows###
title Windows
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    map (hd1) (hd0)
    rootnoverify (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    makeactive

and it works

What kind of strange setup do you have that it is needed to remap the disks 
for BIOS? 
 
Would it be possible to attach the logs? (see 
http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Submit_a_bug for details)

I can't duplicate it in GM 10.0
For me it is fixed
