How do I fdisk a scsi drive??? According to what it says, I assume to use /dev/sda. Well, there are no sd* entries in the /dev directory, so what do I use???

If there are no entries in /dev/sd*, then you probably don't have modules/kernel support for your scsi drive. Try: to see if anything regarding scsi was printed at boot.

You will need to provide more information. Are you sure that the driver for the scsi controller you are using is either built into the kernel or loading as a kernel module?
The commands 'lsmod' and 'lspci' should provide useful information that would be needed to help.

If you just installed the drivers, perhaps you need to run the 'ldconfig' command. Sometimes an installation doesn't do it. This tells the system that a library file needs to be loaded at boot, by adding it to /etc/ld.so.conf.

Also, check the cable to the scsi drive. If it is bad the system may not detect the new drive.

The solution will most likely consist of determining which kernel module needs to be loaded so that the system can detect your new drive and using modprobe to load it in.

OK, I got it to work. I just put adaptec.s in the boot line.

The last message I got, lsmod just gave info about USB devices. lspci didn't work and neither did ldconfig. Now at least I see sda in the dev directory and cfdisk seems to work. So, I will install this tomorrow
