>Description:
        the routine daopen() in sys/cam/scsi can reference a NULL pointer.
        Lines 457-463:
                s = splsoftcam();
                periph = (struct cam_periph *)dp->d_drv1;
                unit = periph->unit_number;     /* POSSIBLE NULL REFERENCE */
                if (periph == NULL) {
                        splx(s);
                        return (ENXIO);
                }
>How-To-Repeat:
        Code inspection, no test. 
>Fix:
        Move line 459 to be after line 463 as follows
        Lines 457-463:
                s = splsoftcam();
                periph = (struct cam_periph *)dp->d_drv1;
                if (periph == NULL) {
                        splx(s);
                        return (ENXIO);
                }
                unit = periph->unit_number;

 I sent the following report via send-pr, but I don't think it left the
 free BSD machine I ran the command on.
