This does not imply that the kernel contains support for the card.  It merely
is telling you the order of the cards in your system.

You need to load the 'cumana2_mod' kernel module after the kernel is running
to be able to use the card.

There are, however, methods available to allow you to boot your kernel and
have the root filesystem on your SCSI card, but it's very complicated to
explain how to do it.
