FreeBSD-10 microdrive seagate ST1AT 4GB (VIA mbo) problem

[Adrian Chadd]

Well, if the disk itself is throwing errors that early in boot, you've
got a much bigger problem.

Sometimes these things do things with partition schemes and
filesystems behind the scenes. Maybe the CF microcontroller in the
card is confused?
