FreeBSD has the same problem, but it might manifest slightly differently
with different hardware, or maybe not at all with some hardware (this
applies to NetBSD also). The wd driver is either not stable enough or not
general enough to work correctly in all cases. There's not a lot that can
be done about it now, except for fixing or rewriting the driver, or mixing
and matching until you find a combination that works.
