Dunno what happens if you only leave the partition section out.  YaST
probably tries to install the system in unused disk space and use
existing swap partitions.


If  you want to be asked about partitions, that is, you want to get the
YaST partition proposal screen, put a proposals section in the general
section:


  <general>
    ...
    <proposals config:type="list">
      <proposal>partitions_proposal</proposal>
    </proposals>
    ...
  </general>


Cf. section 4.1 of the autoYaST manual
(http://users.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/configuration.html#CreateProfile.General)


Best regards
Robert
