Well, it does not happen for all disks:

scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle...
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <IBM, DCAS-32160, S65A> disk fixed
sd0: fabricating a geometry
sd0: 2063 MB, 2063 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 4226725 sectors
sd0: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 8-bit (10.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing

and on another machine:

scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle...
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST39175LC, 0001> disk fixed
sd0: 8683 MB, 11721 cyl, 5 head, 303 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 17783240 sectors
sd0: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 16-bit (20.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing
