/proc/scsi/scsi only sees the local SCSI bus.

We're running RHEL3, kernel  2.4.21-40.EL with Qlogic 2300 driver
installed.

Zones look right, but not sure why drive isn't seen.  The tape drive is
a straight FC connect - no backplane in the ADIC (Scalar i2K).  The
server is a Dell with a Xeon, NBU 6.0  MP3, Qlogic 23xx.
