Briefly, ever so briefly, when I was writing that reply, it occurred to
me that mpt(4) could be a RAID controller, not just a SCSI adapter.  I
promptly forgot this.

A developer who knows this product much better than I indicated in a
private mail that this is (or may be) the case, in which case, yes,
having the DRIVE SET show up as brand/model LSILOGIC isn't unexpected.
But that doesn't explain the second drive...if it is part of a RAID set,
it shouldn't show up in dmesg.

This person felt it could well be a misconfiguration of the RAID set on
this controller.

I'm trying to decide if I should take him up on the non-trivial bet that
it "is not an OpenBSD issue" :)

Nick.
