The Intel D915GEV has an ICH6 ata chip?  Manuel Bouyer recently
added support for that to current. I suggest your best bet, for
something that new, would be to run and track current, targetting
NetBSD 3.0.  Unfortunately, releng's autobuild machine took a
powder late last year, and there do not seem to be any current
snapshots available to download.
