I also have not tried looking at the BIOS view of the system with the SCSI drives powered on. I only looked at the Host Adapter BIOS to verify that it saw them. Maybe it's time for another system shutdown. Makes it hard to read email, but I do have at least one other computer. :-)
Try turning the BIOS off on your SCSI card. It's not needed if you're not booting from anything attached to it. That should prevent GRUB from picking it up, and it should cause it to get picked up only later in the boot process when the drivers load. If the remaining problem is that the drivers still pick it up as /dev/sda and that's not matching things in /etc/fstab, then I'd recommend switching to volume labels (or LVM) and take the device lettering out of the equation.
