It can be found on mode page 1, the : command is described in the EXAMPLES section of the man page for : scsi(8). Talking about scsi(8), How do I create /dev/scsi/super ? I take it it's supposed to be a device, but it's not mentioned in /dev/MAKEDEV. I'm running 2.1-RELEASE & 2.2-960323-SNAP - both the same. It's just occured to me that /dev/sd?.ctl may be what the man page means - is this correct (I'm on a laptop - no SCSI at the moment).
