Not /dev/scsi but /proc/scsi/scsi
E.g.:

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

You need to load the module "st" (as stated earlier), e.g. with modconf.

# lsmod|grep st
st                     28888   0  (autoclean)
scsi_mod               94596   4  [st sg ide-scsi aic7xxx]

As you can see, also the appropriate module for your SCSI controller
needs to be loaded.

No, the kernelmodule "st". Try `modprobe st'.
