Your disk went bad. It is probably unrelated to FreeBSD, but it may have occurred due to a bad interaction when the computer shut down. I had this happen on an old Thinkpad (486/25), and I was never able to get it to work reliably every since, since the bad spot on the disk kept getting hit with fsck. You may not have seen it prior because fsck never was run on the disk since it was shutdown gracefully, hence the bad sector was never accessed.
