I have been using vuescan on NetBSD for some time with my own kernel
loadable module that emulates the /dev/sg, /proc/scsi/scsi,
/proc/sys/kernel/sg-big-buf enought to get vuescan 6.4 to work. The
later vuescan do not work as they reject the /dev/sg device because it
does not support one SG_GET_TIMEOUT ioctl (I the lkm never sees those
ioctls, I think the linux emulation stuff eats those).

Anyways if someone else (I already sent this information to seebs)
wants to use this the lkm can be found from the
http://www.kivinen.iki.fi/lsc/

The current 1.2 version works at least with netbsd 1.6I current. Older
versions worked with various 1.5 versions. The scsi driver, lkm stuff,
creating devices etc has changed multiple times, so if you kernel
version is something older than that you might need to modify the code
yourself...
