there is a file in the initrd called linuxrc that dictates which drivers should be loaded ( and in what order). It's just a shell script.
I moved the modprobe for the aic card above the modprobe dor the ncr card and voila, I get sda1 to be the drive on the AIC controller. Which is exactly what I wanted.
The tricky part was getting inside the initrd.
I "reverse engineered the creation of the initrd by examining /sbin/mkinitrd which is just a sheel script that automates the creation of an initrd.
So i had to unzip the file and mount it via loopback dev but once I had /sbin/mkinitrd in front of me it was just a step by step process.
