I tried to install without RAID1 (only ad4 and ad6 appeared in the disk
list). I made my partitions on ad4 and when the install process tried to
write on the disk I got the same errors : 

ad4: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR>
error=5<ABORTED,ILLEGAL_LENGHT> LBA=xx

So, it seems like my problem come from ata and not from ataraid.
