I am curious, is there a way to force detection of an external device
that was turned off at boot time? If not, I think this would be a
feature (sysctl?). Scanners and other such external SCSI devices are
not things you want to leave on all the time, if you could force
redection of currently NOT used SCSI ID #'s by a sysctl it would allow
you to use them, and (pardon my ignorance of SCSI if this is wrong) do
so without disrupting currently recognized devices.
