I tried removing the USB hub and plugging the disk straight into the Pi3, expecting it to fail on low voltage. To my surprise it warm-booted ok, but the disk still doesn't enumerate. Five tries at usb reset finally revealed the disk, run bootcmd_usb0 brought the disk and FreeBSD up without visible hiccups. The serial console output has been added to http://www.zefox.net/~fbsd/slow_usb_notes. Five usb resets _isn't_ an improvement, but at least it now seems the trouble isn't the hub. Thanks for the suggestion! bob prohaska
