: I disagree.  Once scsi_da found the media, it would then somehow need to
: notify devd (i.e. to automount).  If both functions are in devd, the
: loop becomes:
: 
: while (1) {
:     camcontrol tur mydev;
:     if (found)
:         notify_automount;
:         break;
:     sleep 3;
: }

This doesn't belong in devd.

Robert has patches to bring new geom entries into the realm of devd.
