graid3 lockups?

I've got a dual-proc machine with 3 ATA drives that I'd like to roll
together in a graid3 configuration.  2 of the drives are 250G, and the
third is 300G.  I'm using the raw disk for the two 250G drives (ad4 and
ad6) and the a partition (which is 250G) of the 300G disk (ad9).  ad9
looks like this:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 488397168       16    4.2BSD        0     0     0
  c: 586072368        0    unused     2048 16384         # "raw" part,
don't edit
  d: 97675184 488397184    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552

I need to transfer all the data from partition d on ad9 to the new raid3
volume.  Creating the volume and newfs work fine.  However, when I begin
copying the files from ad9 into the raid3 volume, the system locks hard.
   Naturally the hard-lock isn't good, but I'm also cursious if my
configuration is actually valid.

Any ideas?
