Matt, Here's exactly what I'm seeing after POST: error 1 lba 179552888 error 1 lba 59243926 ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel boot: error 1 lba 179552888 error 1 lba 59243926 ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel boot: It may or may not be related, but I notice that while in this state my hard drive activity light stays on.
