The Debian installation kernel comes with almost all of the SCSI drivers
"built in" so that a CD installation can be done by almost everyone. The
WD-7000 driver is getting some response to its hardware probing from
another device. This is most often caused by and ethernet card with
control registers in the address space expected to be inhabited by the
SCSI card. There are boot parameters that can "reserve" the address space
(so it doesn't get probed by the WD-7000 driver) and assign it to a
specific device.
For information on this subject look at the BootPrompt-HOWTO.
