Detection is kernel level. If you SCSI card is recognised at boot up then
all you need to do is install relevant modules for the appropriate
devices.

Have a look in /lib/modules/#kernelversionhere#/scsi
You'll find a number of modules.

In 2.2.x+

modprobe sr_mod

installs the modules for the SCSI cd driver.
Then it's a matter of: mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/mountpoint
to mount the cd.

The same applies for the other devices.

All this can be set to auto install by adding the appropriate entries in
/etc/conf.modules or compiling the required stuff in the kernel.
