I can chime in with a "me too" here, but with an Adaptec 29160 and Promise
SATA controller. I successfully installed 4.9-RELEASE on a system. I later
cvsup'd to 4.10-Stable and the SCSI isn't seen at all. BIOS probes it, but
FreeBSD does not - appears to be a serious regression (which was reported
to -scsi but no response).

For me the boot would hang at the "Resetting SCSI" stage of the boot and
not continue. Oddly, if I use an older 2940, it is recognized and the boot
continues.

If the SATA card is in the system, neither will boot.
