I'm not sure which of these gave me re-probability, but...

    ls /dev/*scsi*
    crw-------  1 root  wheel   18,   0 Nov  4 23:55 scsisuper

    In my kernel config file:
    # These are only for watching for bitrot in old SCSI code.
    # also need to execute:  ``(umask 077; mknod /dev/scsisuper c 18 0)''
    pseudo-device   su              #scsi user
    pseudo-device   ssc             #super scsi

    Then run (assuming you didn't swap out your boot drive):
    /sbin/scsi -f /dev/rsd0.ctl -r

    And to test, do an inquiry of the device just added (say sd2):
    /sbin/scsi -f /dev/rsd2.ctl -c "12 0 0 0 v 0" 0x40 -i 64 "s8 z8 z16 z4"
