Is it possible to do a fresh install from a cd in paravirtualization mode ?
just like the full virtualization, where you tell where's your iso and then
you boot and install the new OS
Can you not mount the domU's disk on the dom0, use yast2 dirinstall to install
all the necessary files and then start the domU? Once that has started you
can use yast from within the domU as per normal.

Actually I was wondering the same thing... but I would not want to be
restricted to yast. I would want to be able to use any distro CD or iso
and be able to bootstrap a new environment (as if I had hit ctrl-alt-del
on any other machine); more like how VMWare actually emulates the bios
and begins a fresh boot process. It would make installation of things
like mythtv or asterisk at home a whole lot easier but I imagine we
would run into problems when the guest's instance of grub or lilo
decides to try to write to the mbr.
At this point the only thing I could think could get you closest to it
at this stage is to use the initrd images on these isos and hope the
scripts don't barf on you.
