It does give error messages later:
    /netbsd: uhub0: port error, restarting port 1
    /netbsd: umass0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
    /netbsd: cd0 detached
    /netbsd: atapibus0 detached
    /netbsd: umass0 detached

And the drive never works. So should it really try attach to atapibus and use SFF8020i over BBB-P?

Thanks
