 Intel C60x chipsets have 2 disk controllers - the SATA controller
 (which most people are familiar with), and an integrated SAS
 controller.  The isci(4) driver for the SAS controller was added to
 FreeBSD in January - too late for 9.0, but did make it into 8.3 and
 will be in 9.1.  My guess is the HDD in question is attached to the
 SAS controller, and not the SATA controller.  I know that SuperMicro
 systems ship with the front disk slots connected to the SAS
 controller.
 
 On 8.3, can you run "camcontrol devlist -v" and check whether the disk
 in question is on an isciX or ahcichX bus?
 
 Thanks,
