Subject: Predefined SCSI devices in NetBSD-0.9 ?

In NetBSD-0.9-current, I find the stuff handling predefined SCSI devices
removed from scsiconf.c.
I agree that this was a bad solution, anyway. I would prefer a direct mapping
from dcsi device no's to minor dev no's, as it is handled in some SysV systems
I know of (A/UX and Risc/OS).
But I urgently need a way to use devices which are not available at boot
time, as they may be used on other machines.

Does anybody know of a reason why I could not use the original stuff from the
patchkit in NetBSD-0.9?
