>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-971208-SNAP i386
>Environment:

	Stock 3.0-971208-SNAP system.  su and ssc options in kernel.

>Description:

	The SuperSCSI device is necessary to perform SCSI Bus reprobes 
	(dynamically probe/attach SCSI devices) using "scsi -p".
	This device isn't created by default.

	MAKEDEV should support this so users don't have to know
	how to find out what the correct major and minor for the device
	is, and mknod the device themselves.

>How-To-Repeat:

        (Note that scsi(8) says the SuperSCSI device is supposed to be named
	/dev/scsi/super):

        # cd /dev
        # mkdir scsi
        # sh MAKEDEV scsi/super
        scsi/super - no such device name
	# sh MAKEDEV scsi
	scsi - no such device name
	# sh MAKEDEV superscsi
	superscsi - no such device name
	#sh MAKEDEV ssc
	ssc - no such device name

	...give it...

	# grep ssc /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/majors.i386 
	49      ssc             SCSI super device
	# mknod /dev/ssc c 49 0

>Fix:
	
	Update MAKEDEV to support "scsi/super", "ssc", "superscsi", or
	whatever form(s) are desired.
