Using FWB Hard Disk Toolkit

Hello.
I recently purchased a new large hard drive for my Rev. B iMac. That machine
currently has SuSE PPC 6.4 running on it and I would like to continue
running the OS when I install the new drive. My issue is that I'd like to
create a larger number of partitions than I did on the previous install, and
HardDrive Setup won't allow me to create enough partitions (maxes out at 8).
So, I thought I'd use FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit.
Alas, I have found that the YAST2 which ships with SuSE 6.4 won't recognize
any of the partitions I create with HDT. I have tried every combination of
factors that I could think of (partition names and types, that is), but none
of them work. Is it possible to use HDT with SuSE 6.4? If so, what am I
missing? If it doesn't work w/6.4, does it work with 7.0?
Thanks in advance for your help.
