Also please post the result of "sysctl hw.atamodes'; if it has a "dma" in the list then try a "sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,---,---,---" under root and check if the error appear again. I seem to remember I had this kind of problems myself too and I believe this is because of some issues when operating in DMA mode (either hardware configuration issues, like bad cable, eiher a driver problem). I solved my problem by forcing the controller into PIO mode ("hw=pio,---,---,---" in /etc/sysctl.conf).
