I am looking at the cdrecord scsi source, which seems to be pointing
me at the pass devices.

My guess is that there should be one pass device for each SCSI device
attached to the system?  

And this should be configured in the kernel config file, as well as
/dev via MAKEDEV?  

Or is there a way to somehow autoconfigure these things?

What is the xpt device?  Does it figure in anywhere? 

Assuming the above is true, are the pass devices the recommended way
to talk with random (e.g. non-HD / tape / CD) scsi devices?  Or is
there something else that I should be using?

thanks,

+C
