Subject: YDL installer not detecting SCSI

Greetings gang,
I've got 3 G4s that I need to install YDL on, and a strange thing is
happening, I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem:
These are older G4s (sawtooth, right before the GigEth machines) with
only a SCSI drive in them, no IDE.
I made a MacOS standard partition, copied the yaboot.tbxi, ramdisk,
yaboot.conf, etc. and set the boot-device in OF so that it would boot
properly.
The machine then boots properly from the scsi HD, and I can get it to
start the installation procedure. For some reason though, it skips the
setup SCSI section and goes straight to the Disk-druid/fdisk partitioning.
When I try to select fdisk, it tells me I don't have any SCSI hardware
installed (even though I booted from the SCSI drive!).
My SCSI card is an ATTO ExpressPCIProUL3D, please tell me that it is
supported. One of my other G4s has the ATTO ExpressPCIProUL2D which works
like a charm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially since I have 3 of these
machines with the same SCSI card all needing YDL really soon).
Cheers,
Chris
