Well. One hint would be to try boot into the rescue mode using AC1 
installation CD or
new AC2 test boot disk (it would be very helpfull if your do it and we 
could try to resolve the issue).
Try to switch consoles (Alt-Fx) to see what kernel says during scsi 
driver load attempt.
Try to find out PCI IDs for scsi controller. My AS200/233 has following:
Class 0100: 1000:0001 (rev 02)
Scsi storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 02)
I am not sure how different NCRs on AS400 and AS200. :(
