suse 9.2 install broken, involves bash

I installed Suse 9.2 from a DVD attached to the LinuxFormat mag. The install seemed to go well. But, on first reboot it hung before it finished, with these error messages:

/etc/init.d/boot line 353: /bin.sh: permission denied
" line 361: /sbin/kill process "
line 378: /bin/stty
line 384: /bin/uname
line 386: /dev tty1
line 388: /bin/touch
/usr/lib/yast2/bin/yast2.firstboot: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: permission denied

I installed without a new grub, and selected the minimum kde software. This is the entry I made for Suse in the grub menu.lst file on hda1/boot/grub:

title Suse 9.1 (hda3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3
initrd /boot/initrd
savedefault
boot

I tried reinstalling but got the same errors. Any way to fix this so I can at least see what Suse looks like?

if you want to see what suse looks like, there are livecds available. try SUSE-Linux-9.2-LiveCD-KDE.iso
Otherwise, try a re-install, but let it install the bootloader. That probably won't make any difference.

My grub.conf file (using suse 9.2) says:

Code:

title SUSE
    kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 splash=silent linux26 resume=/dev/hda4 desktop selinux=1 elevator=as showopts
    initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd

hope this helps.

Edit:
SUSE is on hda2 and swap is hda4
