If you have the new devfs installed, you need symlinks like /dev/sg0 ->
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target4/lun0/generic. Douglas Gilbert wrote a good
introduction into SCSI & devfs:
http://www.torque.net/scsi/devfs_scsi.html and
http://gear.torque.net/scsi/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/
A few weeks ago, I added support for devfs to sanei_scsi.c So you can
also download this version from cvs.hungry.com and give it a try,
instead of configuring devfs and devfsd for compatibility with the old
layout of /dev/, as Damon McGraw suggested in his mail.
But beware: These patches to sanei_scsi.c are not very well tested yet
-- but tests are of course welcome :)
