Ok. This is a netboot build, since the cdrom install is too big for a
builtin initrd, so it is supposed to load the scsi modules from the
network. The SYM53C8XX_2 is builtin, but apparently this is not what you
need. Do you already have linux running on that box ? And even if you
don't, can you switch to console 2, and send me the content of
/proc/pci, or maybe the output of lspci and lspci -n

Mmm, not a good idea right now, especially as those driver.bin are woody
stuff, right ?
Normally the image above is self contained, if there are missing
modules, we need to check why, and make sure they are included in the
scsi .udeb.
