The SCSI controller *is* supported, see my other message in this thread.
The only thing you might have a problem with, is that the console
keyboard isn't 100% yet. Arrow keys don't work in the installer, and you
might have to type _very_ slowly for all characters to register.

I installed via the serial console.
