"Of course, this would not be a problem if AT&T System V would just go out and
""see" who's on the bus, like a Sun does.  But, no-o-o, the kernel must know
"about each disk drive.

you can't get away without the scsi disk driver; if you're not already
running scsi disks, you'll have to get the 'scsi disk driver
utilities' disk.  you'll also have to do an /etc/scsi/edittbl and edit
/usr/lib/scsi/tc.index with the particulars for your drive.

i know exactly how it's done because i've just added 2
seagate/imprimis st2502n hh drives internally (in place of 1 fh esdi)
but i'm not sure how much detail i can legally go into...
