Ho, I didn't notice this the first time I read your mail but there's
something weird here: your IDE controller is probed a pciide1, which means
that it found another IDE controller which should be identified as pciide0.
Could you boot and tell me what the kernel says about pciide0 and pciide1 ?

To see the boot message from the boot floppy, just start a shell from sysinst
(or type '^C') and 'more /kern/msgbuf'. You'll have to scroll a few times
to skip the NULLs char at the beginning of the buf.
