There was a bug in atacontrol which was causing this for most
people, although there's the possibility that this is a new bug.

See revision 1.43.2.3 below:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/atacontrol/atacontrol.c

Can you verify what version of src/sbin/atacontrol/atacontrol.c your
world was built off of?  I'm thinking because it was so new (barely
2 weeks) that it didn't get pulled in during the BETA build, but it
definitely should have gotten pulled in for BETA2.
