   Yes, well known RELENG_4 -> 6 (maybe even 5) regression. Same here with

acd0: CDRW <CD-W540E/1.0C> at ata1-master UDMA33

Worked fine under RELENG_4, fails to wait for completion under RELENG_6.

   IMHO it isn't correct approach to avoid use of the tool _instead_ of fixing
it. This way, all your tools will be broken one day ;)
