Hey Lars,
A safte(4) device can present an arbitrary set of params available
for querying, but the ones we use to populate hw.sensors with are not
guaranteed to be present on all safte devices. It's quite normal for
a safte device to have no sensors in hw.sensors. The only thing I can
remember we're missing is the sensors for the disk slots. I might
unslack in the next few days and code that up.
If your machine has leds on the drive slots you should be able to
blink them with bioctl -b.
Sorry to disappoint.
