on x86, qemu by default does not emulate a scsi device.
if you look at my last set of postings, you will see a patch set for adding
scsi controllers on demand.
its got some code formatting issues, so i understand why it hasnt been merged
as of yet. i intend to publish a new version in the next couple of days.
