I take it you are trying to install your system to one of the SCSI drives? 
If you're not, just go ahead and install everything to the IDE drive and 
when you get to the part of compiling your kernel just make sure you build 
in the driver. It looks like that particular driver isn't loaded by default. 


You'll have to change the code maturity option so that you'll be able to 
find the driver in the SCSI low level menu of your kenerl configure. The 
fact that it's a new driver is probably why it's not loading for you by 
default.

Your best bet is to install to your IDE drive, and if you'd like your SCSI 
drive to be your boot drive just build the correct kernel drvier and move 
your data over once your system is running. Don't forget to change your 
fstab though before rebooting on the SCSI drive.
