Thanks.  I cloned the hard drive and replaced the old drive with the new drive 
this afternoon.

The box has been in continuous operation for years, and I've never seen this 
behavior before.

I rebooted the machine this morning and, thank God, it came back to life.

Is this an early warning that the hard drive is failing and should be 
replaced this week?

Very probably!

Is there anything else I should explore or do at this time?

If not the drive, check drive cables, the power supply and motherboard/CPU 
overheating.

What made my FreeBSD server freeze?
