it seems on the qla200 (bios 1.23) there is no way to alter the loop 
address and is set to 125 (assuming).  on a qla23xx (bios 1.25) the loop 
address is configurable from 0-125 and can also be disabled (perhaps 
automatic then?).

after getting the scsi errors resolved on the remote fc device, the 
problem remains so i am going to replace the current qla200 card with 
qla23xx to see if the fc device can then be seen by freebsd.  (the 
qla23xx card previously worked on a similar freebsd system.)

i should note that i've tried some other solutions found within the list 
that include disabling acpi without positive results.
