Thanks for the response.

I tried adding:
ispfw_load="YES"
to /boot/loader.conf.  The module was then loaded at boot time, but I
still have similar messages, along with new messages to the effect of:

isp0: Auto Request Sense failed for 0.10.0

So it did not fix the problem.

Perhaps there are some option(s) I can add to the kernel config to get
a more verbose printout of what the isp driver is trying to do?

Since you mentioned the SRM, I should add that I have V7.2-1, which I
believe is the most recent for this PWS600au, at least according to
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/readmes/digitalpw.html. 
If there's more information I can provide from the SRM or kernel, I'll
be glad to do so.

The only other oddity I have seen (and this is on both functioning and
non-functioning kernels) is the line:

isp0: invalid NVRAM header

Not sure if that helps indicate a specific version of the Qlogic
hardware or firmware.
