I believe this has been covered several times on this list. Short
answer, you can't. Not if you use Intel.

Long answer, you need a boot method that doesn't display menu or
graphics during kernel selection. I did it by creating a bootable USB
disk with syslinux and putting install kernel and initrd there. You can
then tell it to look for installation media from CD.

There are other ways to install OpenSuse though. You could clone your
existing system with dd. It should work.
Or you could install with with QEMU (that way you'd be using QEMU's CPU
emulation, not Intel's VT), and use the resulting disk image in Xen later.
