Bug#485961: installation-reports: Installer can't locate CD-ROM drive (sparc)

After modifying the hw-detect list and having the installer try to find a
CD-ROM, here's the lsmod:

~ # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ide_generic             1408  0 [permanent]
esp_scsi               26256  0

After the above, I tried modprobe of:

    sd_mod
    sr_mod
    sym53c8xx
    aic7xxx
    aic79xx

Here is the new dmesg output (i.e. what appeared after the end of the
listing in the original bug report):
