Boot problems with SCSI drives


I've installed Red Hat 7.3 on an older Dell computer. The only drives we have in it are a pair of scsi drives. The installation went fine. The problem we have is that the computer BIOS does not support booting from a scsi drive. So I can't get the system to boot up. Since this is a small utility server, I'm prepared to live with booting from a floppy (or CD), but I don't know how to add the drivers into the boot kernel so that the drives can be found.

If anyone has some documentation on how to do this, I would appreciate it.
