The firmware on the drive from which server I posted the dmesg was 0007:
da0: <SEAGATE ST336607LC 0007> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
However, I do have drives that are 0006 so I really could still use the
bsd utility as I would like to avoid doing this via windows for those
drives (I still have maybe a dozen with firmware 0006). I did get the
image itself from Seagate ....
