Hi,
         I came across this issue as well and it was explained to me here

http://lists.soekris.com/pipermail/soekris-tech/2007-October/013066.html

Generally I avoid the ad0/ad2 issue by removing
ATA_STATIC_ID
from the kernel on FreeBSD.  Also, there are some issues with the vr 
driver in FreebSD 6.x  If you use a 7.0R kernel with
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/vr/if_vr.c
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/vr/if_vrreg.h
it fixes an issue with the NIC that stops processing frames on 
interface transitions.
