It's a known bug from the "barsoom" driver.  If you config your system with
"root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1", when the system comes up it opens
each drive independently.

Another thing you can do is fix /etc/fstab so that it fsck's the disks one
after the other, instead of at the same time.

Of course, ultimately it _is_ a driver bug.
