No. Unfortunately, CAM is not newbus-ified, and thus will not send devctl events. ATA disks will in 6.X and higher, though. > Right now it seems as though it doesn't and that is > problematic.

You should be able to work backwards through the CAM subsystem to obtain this information. Take a look at the output of ``camcontrol devlist -v''. The information is there, and you can use libcam to get it.
