This will not work unless the SCSI adapter has been loaded.

 For Ubuntu / Mint:

Look in /boot and find loader.conf

 If it doesn't exist, create it and add the following (for adaptec adapters):

 ahc_load="YES"
 ahc_eisa_load="YES"
 ahc_isa_load="YES"
 ahc_pci_load="YES"

# ls -al sg0

crw-------- 1 root root 21, 2 Jun 28 09:59 sg2

In my case the user and the group is root. Do I still add my user account to the group root?
