  What version of NetBSD are you using?  In -current, the Amiga drivers
are setting the LUN in the SCSI command.  I suspect that most of the
drive listed in scsiconf.c do not use the LUN in the IDENTIFY message
(and some probably don't even do the message-out when selected with
ATN).  Older drives will probably respond appropriately to commands that
have the LUN embedded in the command.  I had added that code to all the
Amiga drivers when I started getting muliple LUN results on reprobes.

  A drive that does not use the IDENTIFY message is probably only going
to look at the old LUN field in the second SCSI command byte.  The SCSI-2
documentation I have indicates that the IDENTIFY message is mandatory
for SCSI-2, but that the LUN field in the command is still allowed for
compatibility with some SCSI-1 devices.  It's also possible that some
drives may have buggy handling of non-zero LUN values for the IDENTIFY
message.

  Probably because the Amiga drivers set the LUN in the SCSI command if
they even probe multiple LUN devices.
