I have a machine with a plug-in FireWire card, running i386-current.  When
a device is plugged into a firewire port, after a little bit, the device
shows up.

When the device is unplugged, the fwohci detects a bus reset... But the disk
is never detached.  Access to an unplugged disk just goes into disk-wait,
although connecting the same disk (or even apparently a different one!)
restores functionality.  Is that normal?
