Uh...  Charles is right in that the interface _does_ stink though...  That
is not to say that NetBSD should not have such a utility, but rather that
there are better ways to implement it...

It seems to me that you take this as a personal attack, when (IMNSHO)
Charles was talking about the _interface_ to doing various things to
SCSI devices...
