First, all reported instances have ata attachment for the ada0, except
of milu (possibly). So this means that kernel does transient remapping,
and very different code path is executed comparing with what I thought
initially. The path is simpler than the pure unmapped i/o.

Second, I use QEMU with the ata0 attachment for the disks regularly, and
I do not have an issue.  I also did not see a report from the real h/w.

Third point is that all reports are i386.  Is there anybody with amd64,
vbox, ata and the same corruption hiddent by disabling unmapped i/o ?

In what way the non-working images were installed ?  Is it possible to
produce the problematic installs by doing it one way, and non-problematic
by another ?
