Try mkpart -v disk0 to look for bad sectors.  I was having a similiar problem,
but not so bad since I have 8 meg, and it eventually occurred to me that the
problem was with the Hard drive.  mkpart -v told me that there were bad
sectors in my swap partition.  The problem hasn't gone away completely.  But
now it takes a lot more than just X to crash my system.
