Create the ISO image with the following command:
genisoimage -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -iso-level 2 -input-charset utf-8 \
-o grub.iso /tmp/iso

Write the resulting le grub.iso to a CD using your preferred utility. Do not burn
the ISO image as a data le, but use the option for burning a CD image in your
burning utility.
9.5 The Graphical SUSE Screen
The graphical SUSE screen is displayed on the rst console if the option vga=value
is used as a kernel parameter. If you install using YaST, this option is automatically
activated in accordance with the selected resolution and the graphics card. There are
three ways to disable the SUSE screen, if desired:
Disabling the SUSE Screen When Necessary
Enter the command echo 0 >/proc/splash on the command line to disable
the graphical screen. To activate it again, enter echo 1 >/proc/splash.
Disabling the SUSE screen by default
Add the kernel parameter splash=0 to your boot loader conguration. Chapter 9,
The Boot Loader GRUB (page 155) provides more information about this. However,
if you prefer the text mode (the default in earlier versions) set vga=normal.
Completely Disabling the SUSE Screen
Compile a new kernel and disable the option Use splash screen instead of boot logo
in framebuffer support. Disabling framebuffer support in the kernel automatically
disables the splash screen, as well.
WARNING: No Support
SUSE cannot provide any support for your system if you run it with a custom
kernel.
