Can you just take a note of the bits alongside the IDE controller (e.g. 
pciide, piixide, viaide, etc.)?

I originally replied to you just to be helpful, but I've realised that 
coincidentally I've a machine here that has the same symptoms (I've been 
installing a custom embedded version of NetBSD on it based on 1.6.2 and 
2.1 - I'd assumed that one of 3.x, 4.0 or -current would just work).

If you can get the ide controller info as above it would be really useful. 
If this is the same chipset, it gives me something to test with.
