Does it help if you do:
% cd /dev
% sh ./MAKEDEV /dev/ad4s3a
This creates /dev/ad4s3[a-p] e.g. if i remember correctly.
I tried something similar:
% cd /dev

I suppose this is the same problem I have seen in NetBSD. Basically,
some firmware images reenable interrupts when the legacy support is
turned off. Fix can be found in NetBSD's UHCI driver.
That would wouldn't happen to be related to another
