 Ok - I have done more tests and it gets more odd.
  I was running actually 6.2-PreRelease. To see if 
something was fixed, I setup a new disk with a fresh
install of 6.2-RELEASE amd64. Now even without the
sysctl modifications I can reboot the server with:
 bonnie++ -d /home -u root -s1g

 Error on console: Tons of ones like these zoom by.

 g_vfs_done():ad4s1a[READ(offset=172627162,
Length=626729(] error=6


 This is true under P-ATA or S-ATA.
