wdc[01] seem to be configured properly.

Hmm.  strange...  What kind of drive is connected to media
bay?  Maybe it need the special flags to recognize.

As the above and the device tree the below, internal IDE
drive is mapped into ata0/disk.  So if you want to boot from 
there, 

boot ata0/disk@0:5,filename-whatever

where 5 is first HFS partition.

Since OF of the machine has no elf-loader package, only
xcoff one, it can't boot directly from ofwboot.elf or
netbsd-GENERIC_MD which are ELF executable format.

Instead, try boot from ofwboot.xcf which is XCOFF format.
It comes with 19991204 snapshot so you'll find it in
binary/kernel directory.  Once ofwboot.* is loaded, it
handles ELF binary.

Okay, how about 'boot fd:0 netbsd -a', then 'netbsd -a'?
