Tried that. With 4-5 minutes estimated time remaining and <100 packages to go,
/etc/default/grub appeared, so I used vi to change GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR from "" to
"opensuseTW". When it was time to reboot, I checked, and it had been restored to
null; confirmed on first boot. :-(

Tried, but got only:
mount /m2: /dev/sda7 already mounted or mount point busy.

Over my head to try. :-(
Fixing with YaST2 on first boot, I see same long delay waiting on the busy
pointer to quit on selecting the Kernel Parameters tab in bootloader settings
that I experienced during installation, likely much more than 30 seconds, maybe
even a minute. I thought I filed a bug about this not terribly long ago, but
searching I'm missing it if it did happen.
I'm guessing the state of the partitions causes this delay (9 unformatted):
