and yet, there is only /dev/sda, no /dev/sd[b|c|d] (maybe this is the
probe all LUN's option below?)

wierd, I enabled this option, and my kernel can't boot anymore!  I get
some message about unable to mount (or umount - can't remember)
initramfs, and something about /dev not existing!!

I'm currently playing around with SCSI options in the kernel to see if I
can get this working...

thanks for the help so far,
