Sounds like your SCSI adapter isn't supported by the
default kernel and drivers.  From the initial boot screen
you should be able to hit a function key that will tell you
some options to give the kernel to support a number of
SCSI adapters that you might have.  I forget which F-key
has the information.

You'll need to know what sort of SCSI card you have, and
maybe the IRQ and I/O addresses.

Good luck.
