We decided to try it out with a Seagate SCSI drive we had lying around.
We just hooked it up, went through SMIT's device/fixed disk/add a disk/
other scsi disk stuff, then created a new partition and filesystem using
the SMIT filesystem menus, and everything worked great. The whole thing
took about 15 minutes!
