Indeed, the drive sled I have is marked "9.1 DF."  Fortunately I had an 
HVD drive to put in it.

Here's what I got with that change:

...
dino0 at phantomas0 hpa 0xfff88000 path 8/8 irq 28 ipl 1: Mojo V4.0
pci0 at dino0 bus 0
FLT CBFB

That last line was actually overlaid on the "pci0 at dino0" line.  At 
that point the machine was wedged, and I had to break out with ctrl-B. 
Looks somewhat promising though, given that it identified the dino 
bridge correctly.
