This is not fully correct: You don't get the "pass" devices
instead of the "da" devices, but you get the "pass" devices
_without_ the corresponding "da" devices.

See this example:

% camcontrol devlist
<HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N RL00>    at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0)
[...]
<WDC WD15 EARS-00MVWB0 >           at scbus4 target 0 lun 0 (da3,pass4)

You always get "pass" devices (even for SCSI scanners), but
in your case, the "da" devices are missing.

In your listing,

You can see the the devices being connected to the SCSI bus
(even if it's not "real SCSI") properly, but the "da" driver
has not been loaded for them. The reason? Maybe the controller
you're using, "PROMISE 2U-SAS-12-D2 BP 0107, LSI card" (as
you wrote) is not configured to represent the devices as
"normal" hard disks to the operating system?

Additional question: Have you loaded the driver that supports
your card (mfi, mpr, mpt, mps etc.) in /boot/loader.conf?
