And the output of dmesg is
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84<ICRC,UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=1
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84<ICRC,UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=1
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84<ICRC,UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=1
only.
I think the disk is dead.
Thanks to everyone.

You could have found this out by googling for that string but...
DMA = Direct memory access. (fast transfer disk <=> RAM)
LBA = Logical block addressing (err physical addressing of your
disk)
So...your error ...
yah right :-)

means the ad driver has failed to read your disk. Check that your
IDE cable(s) is/are plugged in correctly and if they are, then
chances are your disk may be dead.
Incidentally your subject tells it all ;-)
