[Tfug] Installing Debian via SCSI cd-rom

[A.Chris Hilton]

The installer's doesn't contain (or isn't autoloading) the driver for
the scsi card, the cdrom, or both.  You can peruse the Deb installer
docs for an update on this, but when I put Debian on a compaq server
with cpqarray built in raid I had to grab the modules from an existing
installation, put them on a floppy and load them manually during the
install.

Some of the Debsters on the list may know better than I though.
