We had some such problem with an older jaguar installer CD. Not even 
booting natively would show any disk, not even the disk helper tool 
which is offered from the installer menu bar did show any disk! 
Strange. We have then used another (the newest?) OSX10.2 installer cd 
and although it still didn't show the disk at first, the disk helper 
tool did now show it and reformatting the (already formatted from a 
previous install) partition dedicated to macosx made that partition 
available to the installer.

Dunno if it's because I installed linux (debian) and for this purpose 
deleted one of the two hfs+ partitions (not the macosx system 
partition though). Anyways, it wasn't MOL related.
