This is what I'm trying to avoid. I have one SCSI module (ide-scsi) loading
from an initrd, one (FastTrak) loading from a script in boot.d, and one (the
REAL SCSI) not autoloading at all. I could put them all in a boot.d script
and I could also put them all in an initrd, but neither approach seems 'right'

I don't know, but I don't think so - it's just a question of how to trigger
the loading.
