This is (also) caused by wired-down disk devices which are not
available.  I regularily configure my SCSI disks to be wired down
to specific device names, which results in one such message per
unavailable disk.

This might not be the right place to start a discussion, but
anyway:  When will we switch to SCSI device names which correspond
to the SCSI bus numbers / SCSI ID of the drive?  All commercial
Unix vendors do this, and it is the right thing to do.  Disk device
names get horribly messed if you have a machine with many busses
and many drives.   Only that Windows NT suffers from the drive
letter mixup sickness does not mean that FreeBSD should do so as
well.
