Precedence: bulk

Assumed you have two scsi controllers, or one controller and your
system disks at a different controller/bus, could FreeBSD
cope with changing/adding devices on the SCSI bus. Is there a 
way to rescan the scsi-bus and assign the found devices
into the system? Under VMS you can and I wonder if it is
necessary to reboot the system every time you come with
your moveable DAT streamer or IOMEGA zip drive.
