Yes: load them in this order:
rmload scsi::4.library.scsidriver
rmload scsi::4.library.scsifs
rmload scsi::4.library.scsifiler
Note the use of full pathnames and *no disknames* - when you load scsifs
it will have the effect of dismounting all SCSI disks, hence the insert
disk messages. Also, you have to load scsidriver than scsifs (or rmreinit
scsidriver then load scsifs) as scsifs locks your drive IDs so nothing
except scsifs can access them - reiniting scsifs ends up with scsifs not
being able to issue calls to scsidriver as it doesn't have the right access
key.
The latest versions are something like 1.10 for scsidriver, and 1.09 for
both the others I think.
