For the past several days (the first time being on Dec 2 as shown) I've been 
seeing the following messages popping up:

Dec  2 12:09:11 morden /kernel: wd0: interrupt timeout:
Dec  2 12:09:11 morden /kernel: wd0: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 0
Dec  2 12:09:11 morden /kernel: wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4

Dec  2 16:03:53 morden /kernel: wd0: interrupt timeout:

Dec  2 16:03:53 morden /kernel: wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4

Dec  5 22:10:49 morden /kernel.old: wd0: interrupt timeout:

Dec  6 12:21:18 morden /kernel.old: wd0: interrupt timeout:
Dec  6 12:21:19 morden /kernel.old: wd0: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 
1<no_dam>
Dec  6 12:21:19 morden /kernel.old: wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4

Dec  6 18:08:08 morden /kernel: wd0: interrupt timeout:
Dec  6 18:08:08 morden /kernel: wd0: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0
Dec  6 18:08:09 morden /kernel: wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4

The system will completely hang for several seconds - no process 
activity, no disk activity, nothing - then the drive in question makes 
the "powering up" sound it does when I first power up the machine, the 
error appears on the console and activity resumes.

Can anyone shed some light on what's happening here, specifically, 
whether it's a hardware problem with the drive, or a driver problem with 
FreeBSD?

Here is the output of dmesg:

Rincewind looked at the boots, with suspicious recollection of the trouble
there had been with the University's prototype Seven League boots. Footwear
which tried to make you take steps twenty-one miles long imposed unfortunate
groinal strains; they'd got the things off the student just in time, but he'd
still had to wear a special device for several months, and he still ate
standing up.                          -- Terry Pratchett, "Interesting Times"
