Daniel,

My stupidity!  Must load sd_mod.o to get scsi disk support.  Everything 
works when I insmod in this order:

scsi_mod,  the scsi core
sd_mod, scsi HD support
sr_mod, scsi CD support
aic7xxx, adapter driver


Must remember to check modules.dep for dependencies when manually 
loading a whole subsystem!
