No hard disk found by YaST during factory install from 12.2 build 0003 NET

I think a new thread is called for here.

As mentioned somewhere in the thread "Booting 
openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0003-Media.iso" I'm having trouble installing 
factory on my old 1999 G3 machine.

I can boot the NET image as described in that thread, using a local copy 
of the factory repo and vsftp. But YaST then reports no hard disc, and 
getting a console with Alt-F2 and running pdisk confirms this. I assume 
the necessary module is not being loaded, but not sure what to look for.

The hardware is just fine, running mac OS-X and Opensuse 11.0 if I boot 
the installed hard disc.

Running lspci offers very few likely interfaces for the hd, apart from 
several with "host bridge" in the name. Comparing the output from lsmod 
with that from OSL 11.0 yields few clues either.

Please can anyone help with tracking down the module that I need to get 
the installer under way?
