Is this the equivalent of insmod scsi_mod and if not, what is?

what else do I need to configure?
I found in the aic7xxx.s kerneL;
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SR=y                     (instead of sr_mod.o?)
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y                     (instead of sg.o?)
(I used these two for scsi emulation with the cd burner - do I also need
them for real scsi?  I have been using bare.i for scsi emulation so that I 
can listen to the .wav files made with cdda2wav, but I think the BL2 
kernel also worked for it with three scsi modules plus ide-scsi.)

CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y           I probably need this instead of aic7xxx.o
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMOS_PER_DEVICE=8        these lines too?
CONFIG_AIC7XX_CMOS_RESET_DELAY=5

Do I need all of this?  Or anything else not in the BL2 kernel?

Why are some scsi devices sga (scanner?), some sda4 (zip), some sr0 (cd 
burner, I think)?   I never used anything scsi until recently, these three 
devices.
