Again, thanks for helping on issue:

Jon (and Jay) suggested
In order to try and find my "lost" (I wish) robot, that I should try:
a) modifying the sgen.conf driver to add support
b) checking the other SCSI logical units.(re-editing /dev/st.conf) and reboot 
-r (or devfsadm)
to see if it finds anything else.

Nope. I (still) dont have a /dev/scsi/changer (or sequential).
Nope, I did have it check, and no other (unfound) units found...
ugh.

Mine showed up in /dev/scsi/sequential rather than changer.


You might also edit st.conf to examine other lun's besides 0 (only 0
is scanned in the default file).  My drive also adds /dev/rmt devices
for the changer at higher lun numbers but the same scsi id.
