SCSI drivers are not compiled into the kernel, they're modules that must be 
added to initrd, and loaded by nash.

mkinitrd reads /etc/modules.conf, and picks off the module names that get 
aliased to scsi_hostadapter*, then adds them to the initrd image.

What you need to do is to identify which kernel module supports your SCSI 
controller, temporary append "alias scsi_hostadapter <MODULE>" to your 
/etc/modules.conf, and run mkinitrd.  You should be able to use the 
resulting initrd image to boot off a SCSI hard drive.
