Hmm. The same drive did not reload the tape upon rescan before I
upgraded to FreeBSD-stable from Jan 11, so I do not think Test Unit
Ready is causing it.

I rebuilt the kernel to set CAMDEBUG. The kernel and userland are
still the code from FreeBSD current as of 2011-Jan-11.

It looks as if "camcontrol rescan" generates a command specifically
to load the media (distinct from the TEST UNIT READY).
