Have no fear, I think cciss support has been added (from
boot-floppies/debian/changelog 3.0.20):
* Dirk Lipinski <dlipinski@gmx.de>
- provided patch to support CCISS devices. In conjunction with bf2.4, we
should go fine with it. Will close #134233, #132864 when MAKEDEV
support
is ready and we can create the devices. Same applies for
debootstrap.
Am I missing something? Is it not working (in which case a bug should
be filed)?

I'm forwarding to the list, I'm not sure what the current state of
cciss support is.
