Why not just type this in your configfile for the kernel? disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 disk sd1 at scbus0 target 1 disk sd2 at scbus0 target 2 disk sd3 at scbus0 target 3 disk sd4 at scbus0 target 4 disk sd5 at scbus0 target 5 disk sd6 at scbus0 target 6 > The sd driver seems to be prepared for this, but the necessary changes to > scsiconf.c do not seem to be there. We'd also need a set of utilities to > make the kernel reprobe a given SCSI device. The manpage for scsi tells me that it can do that.
