Here's what I did in a similar situation:

Remove the UW SCSI card & install onto one drive only.
Compile a kernel with support for my card built in.
Reattach the card & the second drive.
Rsync the second drive to the first.
Modify bootx to use the second drive.

There must be a way to get a kernel to find the correct SCSI module, but
I couldn't figure out how. Perhaps someone else on the list can tell us.
