Sounds to me like it might be even more basic than that.  You (Gary) said
that rst0 doesn't show up in a dmesg.  Does your SCSI adapter show up
there?  For example, from my system:

ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:14:0
ahc0: aic7870 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs
ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle

What type of SCSI controller do you have in your system?  Do you have your
kernel properly configured to handle your SCSI adapter, and if so, do any
messages about the adapter itself show up when you do a dmesg?
