SCSI Hardware problem?

This looks to me like I've got a hardware problem. SCSI drive 0:4:0 -- 
or is this perhaps something else?

I had to manually type this in ... :) copying it off the screen since I 
don't see this stuff in a log anywhere.

FreeBSD 5.3 on a dual 450MHz Xeon with SCSI and IDE. GENERIC kernel.

There was stuff above this, but it had scrolled off the screen and the 
console was locked up.

da1 (scsi 4 on bus 0) is my boot drive.

-----------------------------------

I'm guessing I will want to copy this entire drive over to another one. 
What's the best way .... dd?

Oh, one other question ...

I'm used to runlevels on Linux. When I reset this machine, I'm presented 
with the prompt asking me for the default shell (/bin/sh). I hit enter, 
and I'm in sh where I can fsck the other drives and mount them. Cool. 
But ....once I have done that, how do I tell BSD to basically "continue" 
where it left off (i.e. run /etc/netstart sshd, httpd, psqld, zope, etc) 
without manually invoking each of those items?

Thanks in advance.
