Where did my firewire disk go?

dmesg|grep sbp shows:

dmesg|grep /dev/sd shows:
<nothing, just my prompt>
I see the earlier promt re: reversing the module load order, but it
seems to have recovered (the prompt follows the boot).  The last SBP-2
message is the result of the 20 second off, then on followed by the
dmesg check.  It seems to see it ok, but is failing to assign it to any
/dev/ device. I get the following after the Node, speed, & payload
message:
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready
Additional sense indicates Medium not present
sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB.
sda: Write Protect is off
 sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
 unable to read partition table
Device not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
Odd, since this is a HD, not a CD.
