Just add ide-scsi to /etc/modules.

I'm surprised that modprobing works for root.  How does the kernel know
that you want ide-scsi to provide /dev/scd0 and not some other SCSI
device driver?  Ok, perhaps that's what the scsi-hostadapter alias is
for.

I do not know how to make more than one Windows partition bootable the
way you want to.  I do know that you can add Linux to the NTLDR menu
besides Win2K and WinXP (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+NT-Loader.html).
