I would like to install 12.1 on a spare partition in a rather quick
manner
why do you bother really?
If you have like it seems a spare partition, you just have to:
* remember what is this partition and give it to openSUSE at install time (go to edit partition sheme, ask to use only this partition (format it and format only this one). Swap can be shared. Do not use any other partition, and mount it as / (root)
* *important* install the *boot loader* *on your root partition*. Disable all other boot place during 12.1 install
like this, you wont be able to boot directly 12.1. If you have an other openSUSE that boot your system, go to his grub config (use yast) and add the new 12.1. It's probably enough to use a link to the config file in 12.1 /boot/grub/menu.lst. But try first to ask (old) yast to give you a new config to see if it sees your new install.
as long as you don't install a new boot loader, your system will still boot your old distro, so no real problem.
If you happen to understand the brub boot editor, you can easily boot your new distro through it, but is not trivial.
In fact it's simpler to do than to explain, if you understand the important part: do *not* install the new boot loader as default
