You might also leave boot alone and when the machine's up do (as root):

insmod /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o
insmod /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o
insmod /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.o

Assuming you have scsi support and all as modules.

It's a little tedious and modprobing is undoubtedly nicer, but it works very
reliably.
