I was getting these errors frequently.  It seems FreeBSD is a bit more 
sensitive to the cabling used.

I made the massive investment of 3 dollars to get ATA 33/66 80 pin cable 
which fixed the problem on 2 boxes (as well as some CRC read errors on 
bootup in Linux).

When I first took a look on deja, using something like FreeBSD, UDMA error, 
I got 2,000 hits.  Maybe it's something that could go in the FAQ?

It seems, judging from much of what I saw on deja, that 9 times out of 10, 
it's easily resolved by switching IDE cables.
