Sorry if you already stated this, but have you ever gotten this system to
boot from SCSI before?  It sounds to me like perhaps your BIOS and SCSI
adapter are not talking, but I could be wrong.  If the BIOS went to the
MBR and found a drive that had no loadable image (of any type), that would
give the error you describe, no?  If you use a boot floppy, and pass
root=/dev/(sda1), does it come up OK?
