It's probably a small one.

Do you really have 7 hard disks? sd numbers are assigned in order
of appearance on the bus (unless you config your own kernel).
It's more likely sd2g. :-)

What are the next two lines? There should be an sd1 entry, and an sd2 entry.

Hmm. I take that back. If the internal drive is internal to the duo, then
you might have two scsi busses. See if an sd2 shows up during boot.

Why the Mac side utils would see the drive, if you had two busses, and
NetBSD wouldn't is that the MacOS utils use MacOS drivers, which I'm
sure Apple would make work. They just wouldn't tell us how to do it. :-)

Take care,
