out of desperation, i'm going to install a linux distro that i happen to have found laying about (as only linux disks can...) if it installs fine, then i would assume that the *hardware* is fine and that the problem must lie with fBSD. is that a fair assumption?
have a look at dmesg when linux has booted. I've had a similar condition when the freebsd sysinstall would abort with the ICRC error, and linux booted, but when I looked into dmesg linux noted the exact same error, only didn't consider it fatal. it only occured once at boot anyways. nevertheless, I'd first check the UDMA cable (is it a proper 80-conductor one?) and the disk's power cable (loose contact?)
