They're on the -scsi list, I figured you were still on the list.

See:

http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2001/freebsd-scsi/20010826.freebsd-scsi.html
http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-scsi.html

Yes, the first two lines are printed out by a patch I gave Thomas.  (To
figure out why the cd(4) driver was not attaching.  It will attach,
regardless of the SCSI sense sent back, unless the sense information is
"logical unit not supported".  When there is no sense, though, there's no
way to figure out what's going on.)

Yes, that is what it looks like is happening.  Apparantly it only happens
the first time we send a read capacity to the drive.  (On probe.)
Subsequent read capacity commands via camcontrol return CCBs with valid
sense data and the CAM_AUTOSNS_VALID flag set.
