- modprobe whatever scsi modules are appropriate
- create appropriate mount points & entries in /etc/fstab
- signal whatever thing is creating desktop icons to add new ones
(if it's not watching /etc/fstab)
We've got something here that we're using to do the second
of these; it is currently getting called on pcmcia/usb events
for storage things, but it runs into the problem that requires
this SCSI event system (race between device creation, userland
notification, and partition table reading...)
