I solved this problem by using Soren's alpha-test ATAPI stuff from
-current .  There's a PR somewhere in the database where someone
else reported a similar problem and I followed up with how I built
a 3.x kernel with the new ata driver; perhaps you can find it in
the PR database with http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?query .
