Are you sure that your hard drive is not dying?
Run smartctl -a /dev/ad0 and see if any errors were being logged.

You should also try another cable.
Thanks for the response. I'm reasonably sure, the disk is brand new, and
though it could certainly be bad, I installed Linux on the system this
morning without issue. I've tried two different UDMA cables also, just
to be sure. Under PIO4 mode in BSD (by setting hw.ata.ata_dma=0), I can
install and then write data to my heart's content without any errors.
I'm currently reinstalling again, because I believe a partition has
become corrupted after panicking with the disk in UDMA6 mode.
