============================================================
Some times you can have problems with SCSI because the
driver that you need is not loaded at boot time.
Nevertheless you can solve this problem in several ways.
1. Try to load the drivers from a floppy.
with insmod or modeprobe.
2. Compile a kernel with your SCSI drivers and
overwrite the rescue disk kernel with the new one.
3. Download the additional driver disks that comes with
Debian.
Also I recommend you to read the following chapters of
the Debian installation guide.
Chapter 10 - Technical Information on the Boot Floppies
10.3 Replacing the Rescue Floppy Kernel
10.4 Preloading Existing Modules
If it does not work then send more info about your
problem.
