Apologies on the delay. I took a little self imposed break from the
wonderful world of computers for the holidays.

That error appears on the Sun Blade 100s as well. Disabling DMA
(ide=nodma) makes it go away, but I'll be damned if I know exactly what
causes it. On the SB100, its not safe to run with DMA enabled, but I had
an AXi machine for a long time that I never disabled DMA on (but then
again, I never saw that SABRE error on it).

I wouldn't worry about it, but keep an eye out for data corruption.
