  From looking through the logs it looks like you're using a VIA 8237S 
 ATA controller.  Somebody else came across what sounds like the same 
 problem with that chipset just a couple of weeks ago 
 (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-March/171027.html) 
 and says they solved it by replacing the cables - even after previously 
 swapping them.   This does sound very suspiciously like a cable problem 
 - could you try swapping them again please?
