if you add <partition_type>primary</partition_type> to all(!) partitions in 
your profile, it should work. The root partition has to be the third in the 
profile (hda3). If you want it to be hda1, I don't know a solution (you can 
try to put it as third partition in the profile with partition_nr=1 but I 
don't know if that helps. I did not look deep enough into the bug).

I don't think so but you can try the hint above (third position in profile 
with partition_nr=1).

I have to admit, I never tried to compile software in a post-script.
Have you tried to use an autoyast init-script instead of a post-script? That 
runs a lot later then the post-script (actually even later than the proftpd 
would start, that might be a problem in you case).
