    OK, I tried running find-scanner and it doesn't seem to be finding anything.
    Any ideas? When I was recompiling the kernel (with make xconfig), I didn't
    see any options for setting up the scanner in there. I did setup the SCSI
    card and when I boot to Debian Linux then it does list a Scanner as being
    hooked up on the SCSI card (scsi0? although I don't see scsi0 under /dev).
