Mount partitions > in the appropriate filesystem locations? - 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...)
