I guess you are installing from CD on SESCSI, to disk on FWSCSI.
You could try to install from the network, so only the one scsi controller
is active.  See if that helps.  You could probably boot from the CD, then
tell the system to load everything via http or nfs, having exported the CD
contents from a suitable server.
