nailing down your drives _is_ a sensible thing to do...

do you still have a:

sd* at scsibus? .......

line in your config?  The matching is supposed to do the nailed down

At a guess I would say in scsipiconf.c.  You may want to add the
SCSIDEBUG option to your kernel config and have a look at what that
returns.
