I don't have access to NetBSD or Solaris boxes with Seagate drives in them.

Also, we don't (AFAIK) expose /dev/sga to the linux world through the 
linux-o-lator so I don't even know if what I want is possible.

Is there a way to may /dev/sga in the linux world to /dev/passn in the FreeBSD
world and see what they pass?
