No, it could be compiled into the kernel, I used to do this.  I
think I still remember the LILO append= line for it in fact...

Just because a machine has a SCSI scanner doesn't mean it can't
have IDE drives too.  The box I'm typing this on has SCSI HDDs
and an IDE CD-ROM.

If it shows up as IDE then the most likely explanation is that
it's an IDE drive.
