SCSI: Symbios LSI 53C876 (on-board)
You'd have to extract the original option rom from the bios for this, then prepend it to linuxbios. Explore around the wiki a bit, there's a build guide for another board with a SCSI option rom, or else it's the same process as for a VGA rom.
The option rom on it's own won't do much good. LB itself doesn't care about it and can't use the INT 13h hooks that the option rom installs. (Plus they are only installed in the emulator, so payloads can't use them either.)
Depending on the payload, you may not need to care about the option rom however. Ideally the Linux driver does not require the option rom to have run to drive the controller.
Anyway, to boot a system on a SCSI disk you will need room for a Linux kernel in flash. (This is called LAB, suggest to use the LB companion buildrom to create the rom image.)
