New input:

I've now seen the Adaptec AIC-7880 flash by in the boot loader, so I'm sure
it is detected, I'm not sure about the devices on it, though, it is going to
fast to make out.
As for the shell, I guess I wasn't looking to well, point 6 of the loader
menu is obviously a shell, already tried loading a module I  believe to be
corresponding to the AIC-7880 (ahc), still not working though.
I really seem to be stuck now.
