This is probably due to the hard drive spinning down and going to sleep -
FreeBSD normally disables the sleep mode in more recent versions (though it
doesn't seem to always work) - have you tried disabling the 'drive spin
down' parameters in your systems Power Saving options? (Usually under the
BIOS?)

My HP Laptop used to do that until I manually told it _not_ to spin down the
hard drive :-)
