Bug#774620: debian-installer: scsi_transport_spi.ko is missing on the amd64 netboot image

[Jean Weisbuch <jean@phpnet.org>]

I dont have that kind of system available ATM to give you more details 
but the SCSI kernel module was definitely missing when required at the 
disk detection part of the installer.
I cant confirm if the anna package including the SCSI modules was 
downloaded and loaded prior but i can confirm that it wasnt working on 
the netinstall while it worked just fine using the traditional ISO or by 
manually adding the .ko module to the netinstall image.
