If you are in Mandrake 9, you can use harddrake to set up the scsi card/tape 
drive and it should do all that for you. That is you have X installed :-)
Otherwise, you can add the name of your module to /etc/modules and it will 
load on bootup. devfsd will create the device names when the module is 
loaded.
