The problem here is that the PiNT code built into NetBSD is finding the
scanner and attaching it (as /dev/ss0). The PiNT interface has no support
for the userland SCSI that SANE uses. To get round this, you'll need to
build a kernel without SCSI scanner support but with SCSI unknown support.
The scanner will then show up as /dev/uk0.
