If the disk doesn't appear in the native environment, that means
that your BIOS doesn't support SCSI. Since GRUB uses BIOS to access
disks, if your SCSI card doesn't have BIOS, GRUB cannot access SCSI
disks. The easiest way to solve your problem would be to buy a SCSI
card which have SCSI BIOS, or to copy kernel images on your SCSI disk
to an IDE disk so that GRUB can read them.
