    i just installed 4.9-rel. after having the system on for about two
    hours I got a console message that device ad0 had timed out. then the
    system froze.

    after a reboot (power off then on) the systems has been working fine.

    The HD is standard seagate barracuda ATA drive (30 gig). I am using
    an ata100 cable.

    now I'm nervous. don't know why the drive would have had the error.
    Are there any freebsd utils that I can use to test the drive?
