Because taken in context with the rest of the SCSI section, it is required for SCSI support, as opposed to other scsi devices which are optional (e.g. tape or disk support). > IIRC: > * most umass failures are caused by lack of `da' I've said this twice now. > * some kcompile failures (no SCSI devs) are caused by lack of `scbus' Only if you have other devices that depend on SCSI support, e.g. umass. Why do I get the feeling that we're going in circles here?
