well, here's what it does. It's not the drive but the kernel, I see now: what 
happens is that if the drive is spun at boot time, it becomes device sd0, so 
my root partition is mounted as sd1 and the usual sd1 (/opt) becomes sd2. If 
I boot with it physically disconnected (!!), not just unmounted, I get the 
usual suspects at sd0 and sd1 and I can then connect and mount the Syquest as 
sd2. 

Disklabel seems to fail and newfs whines a bit but all seems well: I have a 
mountable volume, though I have to do any partitioning/labelling in MacOS. 

And you can get support for Syquest media in MacOS from Syquest: they had 
drivers there that work just fine.
