I've been also in the similar trouble on scsi disks.
In my case, fortunately, I could make kfs on the scisi disk, but
not be able to boot from it.

Then, I looked into the script files under /bin/dist, and found a manual
way to mount the kfs to my virtual namespace.  Such that

disk/prep -p /dev/sd00/plan9 > /dev/sd00/ctl
disk/kfs -nsd00 -f /dev/sd00/fs
mount -c /srv/kfs.sd00 /n/kfs

and found that WE CAN NEVER BOOT FROM SCSI DISK!

The pcdsik file in /sys/src/9/pc does not include scsi disks as bootable
devices:  such that

......
boot boot #S/sdC0/
