>Description:
              When I plug in my 320GB LaCie 3-port hard drive (FW400, FW800 and USB 2.0) into the FireWire 400 port, FreeBSD recognizes it as having a single 512-byte sector, rather than the 640 million sectors that it actually has. 

The problem is actually inconsistent. Sometimes the drive is properly reocngized, sometimes it is not.
>How-To-Repeat:
              Buy a drive from LaCie and plug it in.
