What version of the kernel are you using? What happens when you call
'/sbin/lsmod -a' before trying to access the scsi bus, what happens when
you call that after trying to access the bus?

If you try and access and then check with lsmod and see only scsi_mod and
sg (for generic devices such as a scanner or sd for disks) have been loaded
then if you make sure that 'alias scsi_hostadaptor aha1542' is in
/etc/conf.modules and it still isn't finding the scsi card, do this.
1) check that scsi_mod has loaded (along with sg or whatever)
2) issue the command '/sbin/insmod aha1542'
Hopefully there should then be a brief pause as it polls the card, you
should be able to see the module loaded with lsmod, and you should see your
scsi devices in /proc/scsi/scsi.

If this works but you have to keep doing a manual '/sbin/insmod aha1542'
then adding the line 'post-install scsi_mod /sbin/insmod aha1542' should
cause aha1542 to automatically be loaded after scsi_mod is loaded.

Is there a way?  What do you mean by that?  You load modules the same
way you always load modules: with insmod or modprobe (or neither, just
kerneld/kmod).

Of course, if the scsi disk is the medium on which you store your
modules, you'll have to either use an init ramdisk or compile the
driver into the kernel. Bootlaces problem.
