Okay, I know this will sound stupid, but...

...is the primary drive set to "slave present", and how new is the drive?
I've run into two rare circumstances.

First, when the master drive is not set to "slave present", and a slave
drive exists, it may work fine under DOS and even Win95, but may not under
NetBSD.  I found this while setting up a friend's system.

Second, older IDE drives may not be able to understand the messages from
newer, larger drives attached as slave.  Try swapping the master/slave roles
and see if both drives are recognized.

My biggest recommendation:  If the target system has two IDE busses, make
both master drives on a different bus.  You'll even gain speed doing this.
