 Based on Thomas's report that the same system disk works in another
 machine, this sounds like a problem with support for certain kind of
 hardware. I can't reproduce it on any of my machines here. If you have
 a system that has this problem, the following output would be useful
 to help diagnose this.
 
 These sysctls:
 
   # sysctl kern.clockrate
   # sysctl kern.timecounter
   # sysctl vm.loadavg
 
 dmesg information about the timecounters:
 
   # fgrep Timecounter /var/run/dmesg.boot
 
 Also, a few samples of this sysctl at 5 second intervals:
 
   # sysctl kern.cp_time
 
 And just as a sanity check, try something like this:
 
   # /usr/bin/time ls -R > /dev/null
 
 and see whether the output is non-zero (but make sure that the command
 takes long enough to accrue some time!).
 
 uname output and a summary of the hardware in question (i386/amd64,
 SMP, HT) would be helpful to go with the above output.
