Now if I could just fine the problem FreeBSD has with my SCSI drives on
my test machine.  I noticed that the pages and pages of error messages I
get sometimes when doing I/O to the disks are also generated even by
something as simple as "smartctl -a" which presumably does not do any
physical I/O to the platters.  This would seem to rule out any hardware
problems involving the media, actuators, etc.
