Ignore this time and here it goes, booting to login screen.  Again,
tried several things in an attempt to have it continue, but no luck.  

Yes, there appears to be a bug in the (new?) Yast....

I made my own DVD from the boxed DVD (32 bit only, single layer like I've been
doing for the past 3 releases)

Apparently the dvd I was using had a bit of dirt on it but whatever..... In
the middle of the DVD install, it came up with a missing RPM file.... and
no matter what you select (retry, abort, ignore) it immediately threw up a
major error and the only choice was to restart the install.

I think the difference between our problems is that perhaps your install had
already booted once? So it tried to do something else when the major error
occurred.

But there is definitely something wrong with Yast's error handling. I think I
put in a bugzillla report on this but it wouldn't help for you to do the
same.
