It tells you that it did react to a SCSI bus reset or media change.
The first occurance of this message should be suppressed. The "od"
driver does this already (still under development), and its scope will
probably be extended from optical media devices to all disk-like
devices with removable media some day (MOD, ZIP, Syquest etc.).

Can you read from the raw device? Just try a hexdump from /dev/rsd1
or whatever SCSI disk unit it actually is. This is the least
functionality that should work. Once it does, i'd suppose msdosfs
doing a poor job, or you've got confusion with the slice code, or...,
or...
