I'm rebuilding a -CURRENT kernel with the cumulative and scsi patches
now. What I didn't realize is the cam_xpt.c patch that adds the quirk
to work around the serial # lookup wasn't patched in. At least I don't
think so. I've re-added that patch and I'm trying again and will
report back.

Sorry for the confusion, hopefully I get past the INQUIRY with the
cam_xpt.c patch.

Thanks,
Josh
