Today I ran offline diagnostics against the SATA drive that I suspected
of causing DMA errors and two system crashes.  These offline diagnostics
confirmed a problem with the drive and eliminated FreeBSD as a source of
the problem.  I replaced the drive and I'm watching to see if any of the
mystery errors in FreeBSD return (at this point I don't expect them to,
since it seems to have been a defective drive).

It took a tremendously long time for me to figure out how to fix up the
new drive for use.  I'm still not sure what I finally did that
apparently was in the right order and formatted everything correctly.
