Hmmm....then we need to try to load all available modules and then
check for a cd drive, I guess. BUT is it save to do it this way or
can a module hang the machine because it accesses the wrong IO-memory?
If we only support PCI SCSI cards I think it could be save to do it this
way because via the PCI registry a driver can check if a supported card
(PCI id) is there.
