   I see this on NetBSD/hp700. I tracked it down to scsipi_size returning weird
   results in sd_get_capacity, but I've got no further.


i wonder if some of the SMP changes have caused this because i've
seen this on my SMP kernels the past 1-2 months... (the time i've
been looking at sparc64 SMP...)
