I would guess that your card is detected with a module in which case
the mounting of root partition won't happen obviously since the system
needs access to the module in the first place.The install is irelevant
since you boot the install on a RAM disk from a compressed filesystem
on a floppy(or emulated floppy from a CDROM).
I'm afraid you have to compile on another machine a kernel with support
for your specific SCSI card IN and not as a module.
other ideas welcome.
