That's what I would have thought too. Unfortunately, picking this info
out of the bootverbose listing is about as user-unfriendly as you can get,
i.e. you have to recognize that *this*:

found-> vendor=0x1000, dev=0x0001, revid=0x02
class=01-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0
subordinatebus=0        secondarybus=0
intpin=a, irq=10
map[10]: type 1, range 32, base 00006000, size  8
map[14]: type 1, range 32, base f1001000, size  8

is the 53c810 based card.

Using pciconf is slightly better:

sym0@pci0:17:0: class=0x010000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x00011000 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00

But again - the info was present in a normal boot in 3.4, in a readable
format:

ncr0: <ncr 53c810 fast10 scsi> rev 0x02 int a irq 10 on pci0.17.0

so why remove it?
