I did all of that, to no avail.  Nothing wrong with the hardware AFAIK.   I 
took a drive out of another system running BSD, dropped it in the system and 
that worked (and compiled a new kernel) fine.  No clue.

Several sups/make worlds/kernels later...  still having problems.   I noticed 
that ports were intermittently failing during compiles as well as the kernel 
was.   

Anyhow, I backed up my data, and reinstalled and it's working fine... (with 
the 4.6.2 release, I haven't supped yet.)  It's unfortunate because I had 
that freebsd instance running for several years...

:-( 

Cheers,
