Wether it is SCSI or SANs LUNS, "sysctl kern.disks" always shows da<no>. it 
don't distinguish b/w them. and similarly "/usr/local/sbin/smartctl -i da0" 
also gives results that is acceptable. Although i don't know what is that 
Serial no in SANs LUN case.
ex:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /usr/local/sbin/smartctl -i da0
