openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso is older than the DVD.iso, thats the
reason why it does not boot on pmac.

Please boot copy the inst32 file (or the unpackaged linux32.gz and
initrd32) to your existing installation, add it to the bootloader
configuration and boot it.
For an G3 iMac, the files in CD/suseboot/ or from
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta5/PPC-HotFix/ should
work.
