It would be nice if the scsi-attach command could tell you if the module
wasn't loaded. Would have saved you a bit of trouble. I think the
blkback and netback drivers suffer the same problem if you load them as
modules.

I don't think any of the other PV drivers support scsi passthrough. a
later version of qemu might support it but it would be slow.

Btw, what is GOS?
