I think I'm the one who broke this, or at least formalized the breakage
if it was broken when I got my hands on it.
The best fix is probably similar to what is in -current: Add a
"driver" member to override driver selection with:
> struct scsidevs {
> u_int32_t type;
> u_int32_t driver; /* normally the same as type */
Add the initialization to the knowndevs table,
duplicating most except specifying the driver you want to use for your entry:
> {
> T_OPTICAL, T_DIRECT, T_REMOV, "SONY", "SMO-F331-00"
> ,"1.24", "sd", SC_ONE_LU | SC_SHOWME
> },

then change the device selection to use the new member at the
bottom of scsi_probedev:
