You can fix this several ways.  

	1. use a binary editor to replace the AT&T strings on the boot
	   disketttes so that it recognizes your devices.

	2. Get the system loaded on a supported device and then change the
	   SCSI id tables in /etc/conf/pack.d/{scsi driver directories}.  There
	   are two directories (one for tapes and one for disks).
