 First you need to set up the scsi drives in the BIOS,then create a
 striped or mirrored set,let the boot menu be available also,you dont
 mention you have created this,if youre not creating a set,the drivers
 arent needed at all.How is a cdrom or cdrw on a scsi bus,the connection
 for a true scsi drive is completly diffrent than an IDE connection.
