 Ok, so it says "Fixed":
 
 % sudo camcontrol inquiry 2:0:1
 pass2: <WD SES Device 2011> Fixed Enclosure Services SCSI-4 device
 pass2: Serial Number 575837314337304132303839
 pass2: 40.000MB/s transfers
 
 % sudo camcontrol inquiry da0
 pass1: <WD My Passport 071A 2011> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device
 pass1: Serial Number 575837314337304132303839
 pass1: 40.000MB/s transfers
 
 Looks that hal does the right thing, yet something in cam changed to
 make it believe this is not removable.
