 [sorry I goofed up with send-pr; this is my first bug report...]
 
 No, it's not a geom issue.
 Same thing happens with geom disabled.
 Nothing to do with msdosfs, either.
 
 I have since tried the following:
 1) booted into single user without any geom modules; same effect
 2) dd with conv=noerror seems to deliver some data of some sort
    (though not sufficient for a valid file system)
 3) reading 512, 1k, 2k, 4k off da3 fails.
    lseek() to 512, 1024, 1536, 2048 and *then* reading 512, 1k, 2k, 4k
    fails as well.
