That's probably your PCI disk controller losing its mind. I tried
this myself and was able to reproduce your problem - my 2940UW dropped
off the bus and started complaining about timeouts, as did my PCI
ethernet card ("de0: transmission timeout"), so it looks like a
general bus problem.
It is very strange, considering that tv should be generating more
Meteor related bus traffic than vic and tv works just fine.

Get your console output redirected to an xterm and you'll see the
various drivers losing their mind. :-)
