  I think the current code only recogizes the rz(0,0,0) form, and it looks
like the previous code only accepted that form.  rz(0,0) shouldn't have
worked before, either.

  Well, I'm rather confused as to what's happening now.  I changed my
drive ID to 0, and the original code gives me <unknown> without my patch
as I would expect.

  What version is your autoconf.c (just to make sure we are talking about
the same thing)?  The only other differences that come to mind is that I'm
using a GENERIC kernel (since I'm also testing the MI SCSI stuff on a
5000/25 with the same kernel), and yours is a custom kernel configuration.
I can't think of any thing in the kernel config file that might cause this
though.
