Did you use a 80- or 40-ATA cable?
If you've configured your drives to do UATA-66 or faster then
FreeBSD (or
any other OS for that matter) will crash if you connect a second
drive...
It's an 80 wire. I have two drives on nearly all of my machines and never
had an issue with crashing until just recently. Started in 5.4, gone in
6.1-PRE, back in 6.1-RC. It doesn't happen alot though under 6.1-RC. But
under 5.4 it was about every 8 hours on average. So in one sense 6.1 is
still saving my arsh.

I suspect some kind of hardware problem, and not a software problem...
If you can, boot into another OS, preferbly windows, since it will crash
on just about anything, you can use your swap partition to install it...
