Even with a dump, it could be hard to determine. Without it, fairly unlikely to prove conclusively. Make sure that your filesystems are clean with a thorough fsck on boot. Also try to rule out hardware problems; specifically memory and the disk itself. You didn't mention the version of FreeBSD you're running (normally a "uname -a" is useful in a tech support message), but updating it might help. The iir driver has not had any major improvements in a year or so, but those changes look important.
