autoyast.xml file has an entry to install the os to /dev/sda. But it is installing in /dev/sdb. Did I miss anything? How do I fix this? The segment looks like this

 /dev/sda true true false btrfs true false /boot uuid 131 1 false 1GiB true false btrfs false false vg00 device 142 2 false 1000GiB 

…

Thanks in advance!  
Paras.

How big are /dev/sda and sdb? Your configuration requests 1001GiB (1GiB for /boot and 1000GiB for LVM) so could /dev/sda be too small whilst /dev/sdb is okay?

HTH.
