I have:

   sd*  at scsibus? target ? lun ?      # SCSI disk drives
   scsibus* at umass?
   umass*       at uhub? port ? configuration ? interface ?

so that *should* be it, so why doesn't it show up?

Output appended.  The printer and the UPS show up; nothing else.

I'm starting to wonder if that card is correctly connected inside
the machine.  I suppose it's possible that when I added a second
disk, I jostled something (or it came from the factory incorrectly
connected).  Time to pull out the screwdriver, I guess!

I'll keep that in mind as a last resort.  You have:

That's almost certainly what it should look like.  I'm starting to
suspect that this is not a kernel problem.  Thanks for pointing me in
the right direction.
