I've also noticed that I get messages like these during the startup of
windows under VMware (possibly a property of the wiring behavior
previously described):

Feb  2 10:58:21 curry /boot/kernel/kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 288, size: 4096
Feb  2 10:58:22 curry /boot/kernel/kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 376, size: 4096
Feb  2 10:58:22 curry /boot/kernel/kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 1536, size: 16384

Normally I'd think this was an impending IDE drive failure, only a number
of others have reported seeing this behavior under -CURRENT also.  Don't
know if it's a product of VMWare, the VM system, or the ATA driver...
