I can't seem to locate the file /boot/loader.conf, I do have, however, some
other locations:

[root@diabloii /]# locate loader.conf
/boot/defaults/loader.conf
/usr/share/man/man5/loader.conf.5.gz
/usr/src/sys/boot/forth/loader.conf
/usr/src/sys/boot/forth/loader.conf.5
[root@diabloii /]#

When I go to edit the /boot/defaults/loader.conf, it says not to edit the
file.

(I don't want to hose my machine, so I am being extra cautious)

I dunno- looks like a fouled up SCSI bus or somehow badly routed interrupts.

Make sure you are loading isp firmware

	ispfw_load="YES"

in /boot/loader.conf.
