Yeah, I would leave your harddrives the way they are, and just create
/dev/sg4 for your scanner. Don't mess with the jumpers then.

Mkdev is just a "souped up" mknod. It has a datafile of all the major
and minor numbers of all devices. You would just enter "mkdev /dev/sg
and it will make all of them.
I believe there is an rpm for Mkdev on Suse'e ftp site. I know there is
one
for Redhat. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll email you a copy
of it. I'm sure if you do a web search for mkdev you will find it on
sunsite.
Maybe one of the systems experts on this list would know the
right mknod command for creating /dev/sg4; that would make things easy
for you.
