If your host machine is also openSUSE ,then you can probably mount host's
/sbin/ on the virutal machine's /mnt/
with a command like -
UML VM#mount none /mnt -t hostfs -o /sbin
Now you have access to host's binary from within virtual machine. You can
copy some missing files.
Though these copied binaries may or mayn't work inside VM!
