> My question is: why does scsiconf not probe for other LUNs?

Because many SCSI devices respond to all of their LUN's.  My old SCSI
tape drive (some-such device) claimed it was on all of it's LUN's, which
confused the heck out of FreeBSD to say the least.

Principle of least suprise here.  It's easier to 'enable' something that
is non-standard that may break standard installations than it is to have
'standard' hardware croaking all over the place.
