This is normal. It's related to a change to the IDE subsystem, not SCSI.

No, it's probably not getting it, or it would print it.
Maybe it comes later, when the disk is first accessed ?
Can you try the attached program ?
Usage: ./tst /dev/rsd1d 10000
It will print the speed at which the bus can move data from the drive's cache.

Do you have an idea if the drive could initiate the negotiaition ?
There may be a jumper for this, but it depends on the drive model.
