You can wire your SCSI devices down. Check LINT for details.
I'd really love to see something like Solaris has hung off of DEVFS that
would automagically present devices in the form of
/dev/dsk/busX/targY/lunZ/...
But that ends up being too long which leads me to think that assign a
'name' to the device and presenting it under /dev/dsk/{name} would be the
way to go.
But that would imply both DEVFS and SLICE which doesn't seem all that
likely at this point.
