The floppy version does not need to access your scsi drive.

Install to hard drive and then boot with alternative kernel bzimage.big 
(2.2.26) from the BL site, which has built-in support for scsi hard 
drives. It also supports (without needing modules) SCSI tape, cd-rom, cd 
burner, zip drive.

To boot with this kernel using the DOS loop setup, you would need to 
modify a file to point at /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/hda1 (etc hd's).
It is complicated.
