No, I said "disk/wd:wd0_dos0"

That's the one.

Yes.

The output of "pr 5" looks like:

        5 wd
         vas 181ea10 threads 181fa00 runq 181dda0 sys/usr 0/0
                .
                .
                .
         6 SLEEP kstack c0b000 uregs cobfc0 wchan 1819950 <none>/<none>
                .
                .
                .

I assume the "6 SLEEP" entry is the thread". (?)

"bt 6" produces:

        _switch() called from _p_sema_v_lock + 18a
        _p_sema_v_lock() called from _msg_receive + 44
        _msg_receive() called from _syscall +dl
        _syscall() called from _Tsyscall + 17

Does this give you any clues?
