 I just wanted to report that I experienced the same problem with my Sun
 Blade 100 system (using both the stock Sun hard drive and two
 off-the-shelf drives, one Seagate 7200.7 ATA100 and an older WD 8GB)
 running 5.4-RELEASE.
 
 I'm guessing this impacts all Blade 100/150, Netra X1 and Fire V100
 servers as they all seem to use the same chipset (give or take a little
 bit).
 
 Setting hw.ata.ata_dma to 0 does fix the problem with my Blade 100 (and
 Blade 150, nearly if not identical motherboard but US-IIi instead of
 US-IIe).
 
 I haven't run into the same problem while running 5.4-RELEASE or
 6.0-BETA on a Sun Ultra 10 using a Seagate Barracuda IV 40GB drive;
 probably because it uses a different ATA controller (which isn't great
 to begin with).
