>Description:
	Some SCSI drives return non-printable characters in strings.  The
	SCSI code attempts to deal with this by escaping these characters.
	The result is aesthetically disconcerting.  
>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot system with certain drives on SCSI bus.  i.e. my new IBM 
	CD-ROM Drive.
>Fix:
	Patch included below changes this:

cd0 at scsibus0 targ 6 lun 0: <IBM, CDRM00203\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000!J, 1.0m> SCSI2 5/cdrom removable

	into this :

cd0 at scsibus0 targ 6 lun 0: <IBM, CDRM00203!J, 1.0m> SCSI2 5/cdrom removable
