Yes and no.  If I have a drive attached to my Promise PDC20269, it 
happens every time.  If I remove the card and attach the drive to my 
motherboard's VIA 8233, it works just fine.  It doesn't seem to 
matter whether I'm using either of the below drives on the Promise, 
the transfer just stops and eventually panics as described in the PR.

The performance of the Promise is dismal, the Maxtor and the Seagate 
barely reach 20M/s throughput, while I get at least 50M/s on the VIA. 
There's something strange going on here.

Motherboard is an ASUS A7V266/E.

Hopefully Soren has an explanation.  Maybe the VIA chipset doesn't get 
along with the Promise, although ASUS offered a Promise raid as an 
option on those boards (absent on mine).  I've never seen any ATA 
error messages while using the Promise.

To make a long story short, this appears to be an ATA problem, not a 
USB problem.  Dumping filesystems to the USB drive worked before the 
NetBSD import, but the import probably exposed a completely different 
problem.

It's safe to close this bug.
