CDROM Unknown Transfer Error crashes system

Hello everybody,

I've just installed FreeBSD on my laptop (decided I wanted a more 
developer-friendly computer).  Aside from what appear to be the standard 
newbie problems, every thing's gone remarkably well, except for this:

I have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive on my laptop.  As a CDROM it had been 
working perfectly well since the initial install about a week and a half 
ago.  It read CDs and DVDs without incident, and did so for hours and 
hours (which it was forced to do because I've been listening to music 
pretty much non-stop since I installed the system).  The burner did not 
work, but after the grueling process of opening up the FreeBSD handbook 
and actually reading how to make it possible to burn CDs, that started 
working as well.  That is, I recompiled the kernel with the atapicam 
module, changed permissions and set up links in the devfs.conf file in 
/etc, and set the suid on cdrecord and cdrdao.  Worked like a charm. 
Burned my first CD, and it was beautiful.  Then I think I went home.

Yesterday, while not burning any CDs at all, just listening to music 
using kscd while I wrote perl script, my computer suddenly reboots. 
Checking /var/log/messages, this is what I see (first log messages after 
the last root login):

Oct  7 09:46:15 xxx kernel: acd0: unknown transfer phase

etc. etc. into the boot process.

Here's what dmesg tells me:

Checking sysctl tells me: hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0

I've googled the error, but the information was mostly related to cd 
burning or errors in different releases from months or years ago. 
Nothing recent that I could find.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on and how I can fix whatever it is?

Thank you!

Wayne
