Matt,

Here's exactly what I'm seeing after POST:

error 1 lba 179552888
error 1 lba 59243926
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
error 1 lba 179552888
error 1 lba 59243926
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:

It may or may not be related, but I notice that while in this state my
hard drive activity light stays on.

Thanks,
Chris
