Depends somewhat on the distro, although (IMHO) it's usually easiest to
build the kernel with the driver (SCSI, in this case) built in rather
than modular. Then use that kernel for your rescue disk.
Some distros, SuSE for example, support a rescue disk with ramdisk. I
haven't used it, but the idea is that you can place modular drivers you
need during boot into the ramdisk image and use them during a floppy
boot.
Here's a SuSE support database article:

Hmm, SuSE 7.2 is being announced...
