This appears to be "normal" behaviour for the firewire code in FreeBSD.
To convince a firewire drive to detach Initiate a firewire bus reset
with the fwcontrol command. To reset the bus use the -r command three
times in succession. It's a kludge but it works.
# fwcontrol -r
# fwcontrol -r
# fwcontrol -r
