I'm not sure if this is the what you mean, but what I did
(following advice in
<http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1125626>)
was to run
sudo mkinitrd --with=scsi_wait_scan -f
/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686
[one line].
My SCSI machine booted fine after that,
though it was confused about the disks on my machine.
(I had an IDE disk in the machine, which I use for backup,
and this became sda, while what had been sda became sdb.)
