First of all, I want to thank you for your pretty detailed answer. 
Thanks.

Your are right, it is 6-in-1 device with 4 slots.

I have tried these commands and more (up to 1:0:10 as experiment) and now
I have 

[root at laura dev]$ camcontrol devlist 
<QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200S 300X>    at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 (pass0,da0)
<PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-40TS 1.13>      at scbus0 target 5 lun 0 (pass1,cd0)

<MCRW CRW600 2.1D>                 at scbus1 target 0 lun 5 (da5,pass8)
<MCRW CRW600 2.1D>                 at scbus1 target 0 lun 6 (da6,pass9)
<MCRW CRW600 2.1D>                 at scbus1 target 0 lun 7 (da7,pass10)
<MCRW CRW600 2.1D>                 at scbus1 target 0 lun 8 (pass11)
<MCRW CRW600 2.1D>                 at scbus1 target 0 lun 9 (da8,pass12)
<MCRW CRW600 2.1D>                 at scbus1 target 0 lun 10 (da9,pass13)

Something strange happens when I try to use it - when camcontrol rescans devices
kernel says, that da* device attached. On first four devices it says 'no medium
present', and on other it says medium present with size=0.

Well, it is great that now I have 4 devices, but - CF slot is first (da1) and it was
present before, and as I assume it is to be mountable. There is CF card - 128 Mb,
it worked before and it was used in this reader (under Windows). So, problem is not
in the card or reader.

As the kernel says I have no medium present in all four slots - da1-da4 it says 
that devices da1-da4 are not configured. 

As I noticed in your old letter - when you made rescan, kernel found card 62Mb,
but mine do not find it at all. 

I tried to remake da1-da4 device nodes in /dev, I tried fdisk, but every time
got a message: da1: device not configured.

Removing/inserting CF card doesn't make anything to change.

Have any ideas why it can happen or how I can debug reader behaviour?

By the way, does not this two commands say card is somehow recognized?:

[root at laura dev]$ camcontrol periphlist 1:0:1
camcontrol: cam_real_open_device: couldn't open passthrough device /dev/pass4
cam_real_open_device: No such file or directory
[root at laura dev]$ camcontrol periphlist 1:0:0
da1:  generation: 8 index: 1 status: MORE
pass3:  generation: 8 index: 2 status: LAST

Thanks for attached letter, I hope it was pushed in archives for future users
search.
I hope your letter I'm now replying did so too.
