But saner than trying to get the box to partially halt d8)

The fix is use ata100 somehow, either by disabling dma entirely in loader.conf (since you have no more selective option there, and the raid card bios never has an option for controlling pio/dma mode like motherboard bios's have) and then use atacontrol in rc.early to set udma5, or by using disks that can only do ata100 and only advertise ata100 to the controller. ...
