i bet your kernel compiled with ncr support did miss some other thing
(like cdrom scsi or regulr scsi ...)
anyway, the kernel using modules should work like this:
describe what are the modules that your kernel need to talk "scsi" and it
will load them automagically.
the file you need to modify is /etc/conf.modules
mine contains such a line:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha1740
since i use an adaptec scsi adapter.
i guess you can use the same just replace aha1740 by ncr53c8xx
hope this helps
