The Ultra 60 has a Symbios 53C876 which is a dual channel SCSI
controller. The controller sits on PCI id 3, that makes scsi@3. scsi@3
is really scsi@3,0 which is the internal bus on an Ultra 60. scsi@3,1 is
the second scsi bus (external on Ultra 60).

scsi@3 is the internal channel scsi@3,1 is the external, the error above
is normal if no SCSI devices are attached to the external SCSI plug.
