You need to rebuild the initrd so that it will have (and know about) the FBA driver. See Jim Sibley's HOWTO on this at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/

We installed a "sandbox" copy of SLES 8 as a VM guest. During installation, there were no VM VDISK units (FBA) attached to the machine. We added one for swap space, extended parmfile & /etc/zipl.conf to include the new address, hoping that the subchannel scanner would sense it during IPL and insert the dasd_fba_mod module. No go. If I insmod dasd_fba_mod by hand, all is fine; but shouldn't this be automatically sensed? Or have I missed a script setting somewhere? My production system did have VDISK units attached at installation time, and they're automatically sensed quite beautifully after the ECKD units get sensed and collected. Any ideas?
