Ok, so it says "Fixed":

% sudo camcontrol inquiry 2:0:1
pass2: <WD SES Device 2011> Fixed Enclosure Services SCSI-4 device
pass2: Serial Number 575837314337304132303839
pass2: 40.000MB/s transfers

% sudo camcontrol inquiry da0
pass1: <WD My Passport 071A 2011> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device
pass1: Serial Number 575837314337304132303839
pass1: 40.000MB/s transfers

Looks that hal does the right thing, yet something in cam changed to
make it believe this is not removable.
