10-30 minutes later, it finally gets through the boot.

/etc/fstab:
/dev/ad2s1 /X ufs rw 2 2

the problem here is the device needs to be PIO4

$ atacontrol mode ad2 PIO4
current mode = PIO4

My problem is how do I get this to persist across reboot ?


Have a look at man 4 ata
Your answer is probably:

 hw.ata.ata_dma=0

in /boot/loader.conf

Are you sure it is not a faulty (or failing) disk though? This size / age drive should have no problem running in DMA mode.
