Yes, the Quantum grand Prix is in some way incompatible with the current FreeBSD NCR SCSI driver code ... :( (Or, ahemm, the NCR driver is incompatible with the GP :) But the Quantum Atlas works quite well, in fact ... If you can help locate the incompatibility, then we'd be glad to make the driver work with the Grand Prix. We just don't have such a drive here, and it may require a significant number of reboots using patched kernels to get this worked out ...
