Another option is to boot some other media instead of the Gentoo CD. For example: if Knoppix recognizes your hardware, install from it instead. Consult the Alternative Installation Guide for further details on this approach.

and what is the problem? if you boot from latest livecd, can you see your scsi disk? howto you're looking for is available at www.gentoo.org/doc - look for Handbook.

if the livecd can't detect your scsi controller, you can load "driver" for it manually, or try another livecd, knoppix should be OK (www.knopper.net)
