No, according to your message it's "Retrying Command (per Sense Data)".

That message is from GEOM and has nothing to do with 10 byte commands.

Sounds like a GEOM problem.  Unless you have other errors from da0 after
the last line you posted, it appears the command retry attempt succeeded.
At that point, the problem is likely with GEOM not parsing the partition
table when it appears and making the slice show up.

But I don't know enough about GEOM to claim this its fault.
