The Linux driver does not load the firmware at the moment. The Linux
driver just bails out without being able to load anything from disk.
Otoh, it's kind of crucial to boot off SCSI drives in future. Since the
LSI10[2|3]0 is pretty wide spread among opteron systems, it would give
us a pretty good start.
