Device not configured

Hi,
I booted into single user mode (running FreeBSD 8 RC2) and did:
# dd if=/dev/ad8 of=/dev/ad8 bs=1024k
After waiting a few hours the command completed without problem (ad8 is the
HDD that has FreeBSD). After that I got the following:
# reboot
reboot: device not configured
# ls
vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error
ls: device not configured
Pressing the boxes power button results in the above vnode message to spam the
screen. The only way to reset the system was to do a hard reset (root was ro
:-) ).
Is this expected behaviour or something wrong with the HDD?
I have been having issues with VirtualBox where doing IO (network and HDD)
causes DMA problems resulting in the system panicing and rebooting. Could
this be related?
I haven't finished diagnosing the VirtualBox problem but booting the guest in
safe mode (the guest is FreeBSD-current) does not fix the problem.
Thanks for your assistance.
David
